Is Seasonic PSU the best?

[Novakane_]

I found this PSU on newegg, but cant seem to find it on pcpicker. It seems to be a good fit for my build but I want to know more about its reliability before I buy it.

What is wrong with the EVGA PSU you've got on the pcpartpicker list now?
Because to me it looks to be of similar spec and is from a reputible brand, at a cheaper price even without the rebate

Why you should not buy an EVGA 400 / 430 / 500 / 600 / 500B / 600B

What is wrong with the EVGA PSU you've got on the pcpartpicker list now?

It is too low performance for a gaming system. (not too low power, not too low efficiency) The components need to be higher performance.

 

[Novakane_]

the XFX is sold out everywhere

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Wow a few minutes ago they had 2 left.

[Novakane_]

how is that compared to the first one i posted?

 

[Novakane_]

also have a $750 budget

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

SeaSonic G 650W is way better than the SEASONIC OEM type version you posted.

Very good quality.

 

[Novakane_]

Think I can cut $10 anywhere on this now?

Yes if they have it cheaper your fine , nice build.

 

[DonkeyOatie]

Cheaper case. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119277&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Phantom looks better.

 

[DonkeyOatie]

Phantom looks better.

True, but unless they can walk into a Microcenter, I can't see any other place to cut $10 without wrecking the build. It's very good, but very tight.

 

[Novakane_]

Yea man Im walking into microcenter

 

[Novakane_]

Thanks for the help folks this seems to be my final cut of the build!

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Looks good great choices.
