PSU: Corsair RMx vs TX-M vs EVGA G2

[killermeemstar]

Which power supply would you advise on getting. The TX-m is cheapest than the other two ( TX-m is around £60 whilst the other two are £85)
Which would you recommend, I'm open to any other PSU you would recommend.

Thanks

TXM is fine for most pc's, the G2 and RMx are a step up and usually used by those pushing extreme OC as they have tighter ripple

I had a Corsair TX750M for a few years. It just died on me recently(lost receipt, warranty claim rejected).... Ended up buying a new RM750i to replace it. Only did so because it was $20 off in store and has a $20 mail-in rebate. It has a 10 year warranty on it so just have to make sure I don't lose the receipt this time.

I will be using my PC for mostly gaming.
Will the TX-M be fine in terms of reliability? Or will I be better getting a RMx? As I think the Warranty on RMx is 10 years compared to 7 years TX-M
I probably will not be over clocking and was just looking for a good PSU that'll last a while.
Thanks

A side from warranty, there's only 2 other differences. With the RMx, you'll save a little bit of money on electricity costs & if there's ever a major surge... your PC has a higher chance of survival with it then with the TX.

This is the new model of the TXm just released not long ago it's not the old one.

I'm hoping surge shouldn't be a problem as I use surge protected outlets. Would you recommend the TX-M if i can get it £25 cheaper?

The TXm will work just fine and could last just as long.

 

[killermeemstar]

Are there any significant differences between the RMX and TX-M with regards to reliability/ how long they would last?

 

[toshibitsu]

If you have the money and want the piece of mind in knowing you have a 'slightly better' PSU, then go for the RMx. Otherwise... no. There's a 99% chance it won't matter.

Okay, thanks. Will probably go with the TX-M as it's on sale. Thanks for the quick replies all.
