I'm thinking of getting a new PSU and I've still got the XFX 850w sitting in my cart @ NCIX for $199 plus I get a $20 gift card so really it's $179. I also found this 1000w Silverstone Strider for $189.
NCIX.com - Buy Silverstone Strider ST1000 1000W Modular Power Supply ATX 20/24PIN 135mm Fan High Efficiency Black - SST-ST1000 In Canada.
I like the sexiness of the XFX though but an extra 150w for basically the same price would be nice. Does the Silverstones only come with 5 year warranty? What's it got on the inside? I know the XFX has the m12D. Silverstone also has 2 12v rails @ 70a each. I've already got a 700w OCZ GameXstream but it's garbage compared to both of these. My system specs WILL be=
core i5 750 OC'ed
EVGA P55 SLI FTW (which has 2 8pin cpu vtt connectors)
4gb Gskill 1600
GTX 260 core216 and an 8800gt
3 HDD's
4-5 case fans
and a DVD RW drive
That system should draw <500w for sure so and PSU calculator also shows even if I was SLI'ing 2 GTX295's it would only be ~600w. So which would you choose and why? Or should I just stick with my 700w OCZ?
