    Is your AIO above the GPU?

    Never cheap out on the PSU. I know it's not a sexy part but it is the life of your PC. Again don't cheap out on the PSU.

    All-in-one. I'm referring to your watercooler for your CPU.

    Hands down EVGA Supernova G2 750W. These babies come with 10 year warranty, are 100% modular and semi passive (in ECO mode).

    I'm not sure I remember correctly but I think the Corsair HX and AX product lines are good. The AX760 is Platinum branded so it should be great.

    AX760 is a great PSU, go for it.

    Corsair makes outstanding products.

    The Corsair PSUs are very good. I've always bought Corsair or Silverstone PSUs. Except this time I'm on one from XFX and its very good as well.

    There's nothing wrong with having an all-in-one water cooler if you're not overclocking. I have one in my rig, mostly to keep my CPU cool without too much noise.

    But yea... to reiterate what others have already said... there are things you can cheap out on if you need to save some money, but the power supply should NEVER be one of them. I had a power supply in one of my previous computers that i THOUGHT was good. After about a year or so, power supply randomly died, and took the video card with it. Not in a fiery spectacle like yours was... but still dead.
