I'm looking to replace my current PSU(which is having voltage fluctutation issues after 7 years of use) and have settled on 2 possible options.The Corsair RMi750w or the Corsair RMi850w.
These are the only 2 high end options available where I live(even online).No EVGA PSU available(except for 1200W ones) or even the RMi650
The thing is,both of them are basically the same price(about 2% more expensive on the 850w) and I was wondering what would be the downside to getting the 850W.I realize this has been asked a few times on the forums through different ways but couldn't get a clear choice out of it.According to CoolerMaster PSU calculator my system uses 400W at max load and from what I could gather a too high wattage PSU becomes less efficient if the system doesn't use too much.
My main question is will the efficiency loss make it not worth getting the 850(especially when in Idle)
Thanks to anyone who can take the time to give their thoughts
