cooler master psu are simply the best

The Corsair HXi and the Coolermaster V1200 are the best options both are tier 1

You have to be careful with Cooler master, they have a couple good ones like the V and VS series but they have alot of garbage aswell like the Elite, GX, and Extreme series.

Thermaltake PSUs are not that good at all.

Coolermaster and corsair has some units that are very good, but most units are "ok-ish" to downright garbage.
The units that corsair and coolermaster makes that are really good, are frankly more expensive then their competition and thus not worth it.

I would much rather suggest seasonic, xfx, superflower, or evga (B2, G2, GS series).

Here are 3 tier 1 PSUs that cost less.

thanks for quick response, thats i love about tom's experts

it means corsair hxi 1200 is good option.
there is $100 price difference in axi1200i and hxi100i..
is it worth to spend $100 for axi 1200i for the sake of fan control that feature is coming along with 6gen mobos? or should i go for hxi one ??

The HXi supports fan control using corsair link.
