My condolences, let's hope it didn't take anything else with it! Co-incidentally, I've been shopping PSU's myself, and here's what I've decided:

They make a 750 as well, but it's not modular. The 620 should suit me fine.

Just the psu Ed.When i came in thisafternoon my Daughter said the PC smell funny.Had a smell of the exhaust & smelt a bit burnt.opened the case & turned the power off & soon as the power was off clouds of smoke pored outof the psu.The fan must have been keeping it just cool enough not to burn.

Glad to hear that, at least. The Corsair PSUs got pretty good reviews, and I trust the name.

Corsair is definitely one of the better brands out there. I bought a Corsair 650 watt (non-modular cables) and it is:
Quiet
Stable
Cool (in running, and is all black)
SLI and Crossfire ready (too bad I'm not )
Is rated for over 80% efficiency
Comes with a 5 year Corsair guaranteed warranty

These are just the things I can read off the side of the box of the PSU, but I believe it is true 100%. There is no reason not to buy a Corsair PSU, unless you need more than 1000 watts of power.

Dave, I would say go for something with about 750 watts or higher if you have the 2 9600 GT's in SLI and that Phenom II 125 W processor.

Just my recent thoughts,
Kyle

Wattage is in fact a term, lol! Don't go under 600watts was what I was told, and if you spend a little more you get a whole lot more. I even bought an OCZ 620 watt one for my new system - it received okay reviews and seems to be chugging right along just fine
