Antec or Corsair psu?

TechiGamer · Aug 11, 2013

Hey guys,

I would like to know in your opinion if antec would be better than corsair. I have been looking at these two:http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX35572 and http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX26068. 650w would work fine for me but I would think a 750w would be better down the road for future builds.

Let' me be totally honest both those are top notch!If it were me,i'd get whichever is cheaper lol! Corsair Professional HX650W modular power supply is actually built by Seasonic which is one of the best if not the best in the game.

If you would like to know about power supplies i suggest you bookmark these links . For a proper, comprehensive review database I suggest you visit RealHardTechX, an extensive, easy to navigate and up to date resource. Try to stick to reputable, competent reviewers when doing such research, I'd recommend JonnyGURU, TechPowerUp, Hardware Secrets, [H]ard|OCP, PC Perspective, KitGuru,it SilentPCReview, PCPer, AnandTech, and last but not least Toms Hardware.

Ok now I'm confused.. this Antec is better than the xfx?

Sn1992-1361850 · Aug 11, 2013

Xfx and antec both are good
xfx is better as it is made by best seasonic
and the point is its cheaper than antec so get xfx for sure

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 11, 2013

Get the ANTEC PRO you linked , it's a fine unit made by Delta , and is modular.

TechiGamer · Aug 11, 2013

Sn1992-1361850 :

Ok so I was looking and with shipping the xfx costs about the same as the antec

badboyrog · Aug 11, 2013

seasonic is the master on psu , and make psu for a lot of submanufacturer......

with corsair you have 7 years warranty with hx series and upper

again it depend what do you want to do with your pc?

Sn1992-1361850 · Aug 11, 2013

But xfx is better as its made by seasonic

bigcyco1 · Aug 11, 2013

TechiGamer · Aug 11, 2013

SubinP :

Wups lol! Forgot about that post! Sorry bro!

Sn1992-1361850 · Aug 12, 2013

Actually guys.... I don't think I'm going to build my own pc! I have been looking at CyberPowerPC and it turns out I can get more for my buck. This is my build here: i5-4670k with gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H Motherboard $400, seagate 2tb barracuda sata 3 with 64MB cache $100, Corsair carbide series 300r $100, psu somewhere around $110, EVGA gtx760 2GB superclocked $270, Corsair vengeance 2x4gb ddr3 1600 mhz $69.99, and Windows 8 $120 (total= $1169). And as you can see the build doesnt include any cooling yet!

This is my build at cyberpower : http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1FBU7F It is $100 more but I get cpu and gpu liquid cooling and maximum 120mm case fans with it! But I need to pay like $60 shipping!

So.. what do you guys think?

SubinP · Aug 12, 2013

TechiGamer :

I'll be completely honest here. You are wasting your time even being on the Cyberpower/IbuyPower/any custom building pc website. Building PCs is not hard. Also, Ibuypower/cyberpower have been exposed for using refurbished parts and advertising them as new to put in customers' computers. Additionally, a part of your pc may very well die within your use of it, and knowing how to replace will be a lot easier if you actually built your own. Building a PC is fun, educational, and cheaper.
