Alrighty, so i need a new psu, cant run from the fact, so in between these models, wich would be preferable? they are all for the same price in my city.
for starters, all i know is that the 850i has monitoring using corsair icue or link software, wich i have because i pretty much own every corsair peripheral, and the 850x doesn't, while this sound an obvious win for the 850i, i wonder if theres anything else different between these 2 cuz the 850x is white and the 850i is black... lol.
also, theres the hx850, wich goes for the same price as the others, as i said, but being platinum certified, while the others are gold. Honestly i have no idea what these mean, im a psu noob, but logic dictates that platinum>gold, but in real terms, is it really a thing or just cool nomeclatures? cause so, if it doesnt mean much or at all, i think the 850i with the monitoring thing would be better?
doubts, doubts, doubts...
