Corsair HX520W

 Created for the professional, gamer, or PC enthusiast, the Corsair HX520W is a high end, 80%+ certified computer power supply unit. With a few luxury features over the Corsair VX value series, the HX520W - which is actually manufactured by Seasonic - provides 520W of clean and efficiently produced power over three 12V rails for added stability, and allows users to keep their cases clean and free of airflow blocking clutter with removable (modular) cabling. Similar to the value line in all other respects the HX520W uses only the best quality components, features sleaved cables, a large number of power cables, a super quiet 120mm fan, and an industry leading 5-year warranty.
