Hi all. I would like to get some recommendations relative to PSU reliability and all in one watercooling.
I recently upgraded my graphics card from a 560Ti which I sold to a friend to a 280X. My current PSU is an Antec Earthwatts 500W Green, 80+ Bronze. It's been a good PSU, but it already has 3 years old and it's not enough to power up this GPU with overclocking. I believe the problem is on the 12V rails, which are split in 2, 24A in each I believe. With stock values is perfectly fine though
I'm a fan of Corsair products, I'm inclined to purchase a modular one which will let me add a second 280X if I want. I'm not sure if 750W is enough though. I now most of you guys like Seasonic products, but my local store doesn't have many models and they are expensive. I'm watching this one, what do you think?

Let me now your opinions.
Next subject, I'm looking to upgrade my old Corsair A50 cooler for a more powerful cooling system to maintain my overclock at summer, I'm wondering if watercooling is a good option. I have limited space, my case is a mid tower so only it can only hold a 140mm or 120mm watercooler. http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cases/2011/02/28/antec-one-hundred-review/1
More that this usually is to expensive anyway. I am looking into the Corsair H80i, it looks powerful enough and I think it can fit on the rear of my case. Is there any limitations of space to these dual fan coolers? Anyway, I'm open to suggestions.
I have about 150€-170€ to spend in this two items, more or less. Thank you in advance.
