I've been looking for a power supply to power my current rig plus some near-future upgrades.
I settled on the XFX Pro 850W for $150 at NCIX, until I saw the XFX Pro 1050W for only $5 more AR.
Both units are 80+ Gold certified, fully modular, SeaSonic platforms.
Given the prices I was just going to impulse buy the 1050. But on second thought...is there any reason I should prefer the 850W instead of the 1050W unit considering these prices? I.e.) optimize load more efficient performance/life expectancy/save a few bucks on annual utilities? Or simply to not have to deal with annoying/risky MIR?
Here is what it needs to power:
Overclocked 2500K @ ~4.5GHz
2 Overclocked 7950's at ~1100MHz core in XFire
3 HDD's and 1 SSD
5 140mm fans
X-Fi Titanium Soundcard
16GB Ram
Corsair H100i or possibly a custom loop.
Please advise.
