Currently putting together new build and a bit stuck when it comes to power supplies. I have followed the PSU tier list 2.0 as a start, but my choices are pretty limited here in Denmark.
Anyways, I have narrowed it down to Sea Sonic Platinum Series 760 and Corsair AX760i. (760 is the lowest wattage available for the corsair here)
Now the first thing that comes to mind are the relatively low wattage recommendations I see in other threads, is 760 overkill for something like a I7-5820K, GTX 970, one SSD and a couple of regular HDD? It seems it might be, but what component are the big power consumers and justify high wattage PSUs - just so I can future proof.
The second thing is more straight forward, or actually not. Which one is better? I am aware that they are both tier one platinum, which is nice, but I'm thinking more sceptical in the way of coil whine, extreme noise, or other odd issues. Any experience?
