I am planning to build a gaming PC/HTPC sometime between late July and mid-August after Intel gets the USB 3.0 bug issue resolved with the Haswell motherboards and CPUs. A PSU calculator program stated that I needed around 700 watts to power the computer that I plan to build. The PC case that I will get is an Antec 1200V3. I also plan to buy additional case fans, a CPU fan, and a PSU manufactured by Antec for easier hardware compatibility. I have no plans to overclock, but I may add other components in the future such as an additional hard drive, or a dual video card setup. Besides gaming, I will also be doing C++ activities as a side project (with no plans to do heavy duty graphics), and using FSX for flight training. I want a PSU, along with the case, that will last for at least two builds, with each build lasting between two and three years.
The three Antec PSUs that I am looking at are:
1. HCG-900
2. HCP-1000 Platinum
3. HCP-1200
I know that there is a $130 price difference between the HCG-900 and HCP-1000 and am leaning toward the former unless the latter or HCP-1200 is guaranteed to last me for four to six years.
