i originally had corsair Professional Gold 850W 80 PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply in my pcpicker and its currently sold out every where. need to know if Corsair Professional Series HX 850 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Gold (HX850) - is recommended

AX Series (Corsair Professional Gold) is one up from the (Corsair Professional Series) HX Series.

AX is the better unit , but both are very high quality units.

The HX will do a great job , but this is a better unit , more power and cheaper.

is that too much wattage tho? if so, do you think i should go with the Corsair 860W 80 PLUS Platinum Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply
instead of hk.
if it isnt, you sir completed my build 😛
