PSU Choice

[mkochjr]

I currently have two PSU at my disposal. I was wondering which one would be better for my system. One of them is still brand new in the box as it was a RMA and then the other i bought temporarly to replace it.

My system is:

i5 2500k
gtx 570
4 gb ram



Power Supply choices are:

GX CoolerMaster 650watt - Currently Installed
OCZ ModXStream PRO 700w - Brand new in box (RMA replacement)

Let me know if anymore information is needed.

The CM says the 12v rail up to 52A. I can find the information on the OCZ.

Either will work. It is probably easier to sell a product that is new in the box, and preferably unopened.

 

[hilltopmonk]

do you need that extra 50W?
Is the OCZ MUCH quieter than the GX? (or do you care about this question)

If no to both stick with what works.

Sell the other.

Neither are good. Test reviews of both PSUs show that they are both FAILS.
