ScopeThaGecko · Mar 18, 2013

hi,

i am looking to upgrade my psu unit to 1 of these two:
-Corsair HX850 850 Watt, 20+24 Pins
-Antec High Current Pro 850 Watt, 20+24 Pins

but i am torn between them. i can not chose.
i need a heavy psu since i am running:
-i7-3770k 3.5GHz (OC to 4.2GHz)
-XFX Radeon HD 7950 Black Edition Double D (OC to 1000MHz, soon i will get a seconde XFX Radeon HD 7950 Black Edition Double D running in Crossfire)
-ASRock z77 Extreme 4
-Spire x2
-Scythe Mugen 3 Gaming Edition

so if any of you could help me out that would be awesome

Note: I am also looking to get a dedicated sound card, but im not sure yet

HX is a bit old (i may be wrong), why dont you check out seasonic's lineup, most of corsairs psu are from seasonic anyway. i have x760, works like a charm

The prices seem to be close to each other (unless you find a promotion), i would personally go for the Corsair with it's Seasonic components, a single +12V@70A line and the 7years warranty.

I would consider this HX750W. The 7950 only uses 200W so it's plenty for crossfire, and it's $40 cheaper ($50 if you send the rebate) than the HX850 on newegg right now.

Note I am just looking quick at newegg prices because I saw the sale after seeing your post.

A lot of Corsair PSUs are Seasonic, but the HX850 is made by Channel Well. It's probably still the one to get of the two.
If you are open to suggestions, check out the XFX P1-850B-BEFX or SeaSonic X-850.

Well that used to be true, it's no longer the case. I think there are only 3 seasonic units left in corsair's line up now. HX650, AX760 & 860.

As the replies have hinted at just get the cheaper one. There isn't a lot of differences between those PSUs. (unless one is modular and you want that...)
