Default OCZ StealthXstream 600W vs Seasonic M12 II 500W
Hey HWC,

The other thread wasn't getting any attention so i'll post it here.

So which one is better? say for a 5850??

The Seasonic one is $50 at NCIX and the OCZ one is $65 at NCIX.

Which one is best bang for the buck??

THX

seasonic is the 1 i would go with
NCIX.com - Buy Seasonic M12 II 500W EPS12V 20/24PIN ATX Modular Power Supply Active PFC 80PLUS 6PIN PCI-W 120MM Fan - SS-500GM In Canada.
NCIX.com - Buy OCZ StealthXStream 600W ATX12V 20/24PIN Active PFC ATX Power Supply 120MM Fan Black - OCZ600SXS In Canada.
Just wondering where you got those prices. by the way i have the m12 500 watt there is no comparing them in my opinion the m12 is in a league of it's own

Why do you have two threads for the same question? And why is the thread here in "Off Topic" at all?

The Seasonic is a far better PSU. The StealthXStream is only good up to about 500W anyway, and the Seasonic is much better quality.
