OCZ PSU opinion

I've started purchasing for my first build. I plan on making this a gaming machine, SLI or crossfire. I know OCZ is known for its memory, so I was surprised to see it makes PSUs.

I might pick this up.
OCZ 850 WATT PSU

So Far I have read that the 12v Rails are not 20a more like 18. OCZ has admitted there mistake.

Any of you have opinions about this PSU?

OCZ has been in the game for a pretty long time. Like most brand names, they dont make the powersupply. Just relabel it. FSP and 3Y make their more current powersupplies. Basically the same company.

Not a big fan of their 700w and 600w gamextreme's, they have a voltage ripple issue, meaning the power coming out wont be noise-free (clean). Dont get me wrong, they're still very stable and is a quality psu.

If your going all out for a 850w psu mind as well make sure its the best you can get, take a look at www.ncix.com and www.canadacomputers.com to better compare prices. I would personally go for a Silverstone "ZF" series.
