I am currently running an AM3 1100T 125w phenomx6 on an 880g usb3.0 biostar board with 4x4gb ddr3 1600mhz ram, 1 HD 6870 XFX, OCZ fatal1ty 550w psu, 1x 500gb hdd 7200rpm,2x Sata3 60gb corsair force gt in raid 0, thermaltake v9 case, and a EVGA superclock cooler on the cpu.

I have decided to upgrade my GPU to a Sapphire R9 280x OC toxic edition. I am looking at two power supplies that have caught my attention. It states that 750W is recommended.

( SAPPHIRE 100363-4L Radeon R9 280X 3GB 384-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support Video Card Tri-X OC version )

Antec EA-750 PLATINUM 750W 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified Power Supply

EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 220-G2-0750-XR 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Power Supply

Ones platinum the other is gold rated. Surprisingly the platinum one is slightly less expensive.
 
Solution
EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 < Get this one it's the best 750w on the market.

Summary
😀

The gravy train keeps on rolling for EVGA today with the G2 750W. Expectations were high, and EVGA rose to them without breaking a sweat. I have to imagine that over at EVGA headquarters, they have to regularly take breaks to go up on the roof and yell, "Top o' the world, Ma!" I certainly couldn't blame them. Now all we need from EVGA is their answer to the Corsair AX1500i, and we'll be all set.

The Good:

excellent voltage regulation
less than 15mV ripple on the outputs
switchable semi-fanless mode
excellent build quality
10 year warranty
competitive price


The Bad:

nothing
