A good PSU for £60?

[jnsamuel]

I'm looking for a good PSU for under £60, something silent. I came across this: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/750w-corsair-hx750-hybrid-modular-80-plus-gold-atx-psu-refurb-uk-cable#
Do you think this is a good deal?

I also saw an EVGA SuperNOVA NEX750
and an XFX XTR Series for around the same price.

get the XFX if you can, the XTR series should be Seasonic made.

I got that wrong, it's an XFX XXX
http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-Edition-Bronze-Semi-Modular-Supply/dp/B008O50WKG
the cheapest XTR I could find is 70 and it's only 550w

Isn't the HX750 made by Seasonic too?

No its made by CWT. But it is one of CWTs better units.

The XFX is Seasonic made, the Antec is made by Delta(a good OEM).

I believe the XXX is also Seasonic. In fact, I believe that XXX unit is a relabeled Seasonic M12II.

All of XFX psus are made by Seasonic.

Thanks for the confirmation. I could've sworn that was the case, but I don't keep track of all of XFX lineup so I didn't want to say anything I wasn't 100% sure of.

Bit out of my price range, especially on that Antec one where the cheapest is £90 and the scan link redirects to a motherboard for some reason.

I don't really want to go over £60 at the moment.

That's a great power supply for the money!

On further reading I found an XFX XTR 550w for £70 at http://www.morecomputers.com/extra.aspx?pn=P1-550B-BEFX so I'm stuck between this and the HX750 🙁

 

[Chass1990]

if your budget is 60, just go for the HX750. It's a pretty solid unit in itself.

 

[Chass1990]

yea, Seasonic makes solid PSU, but the Pro XXX isn't their best units. The HX750 should give you no problems.
