The EVGA BQ is a poor quality unit. I'm unfamiliar with the XPG, and I'm unaware of there being any decent Cougar models, though there may be some.

They have the same costIs that just brand loyalty?
There is no way in hell a Seasonic Core is as good as ANY other "Gold" PSU out there. Including that Cougar.
I would say the XPG Core Reactor is AT LEAST on par with the Seasonic Focus.
If I had the choice, and those were my ONLY choices, I would pick the XPG HANDS DOWN. Unless that Focus was $10 cheaper.
