Hello.
New Enermax "X'T" power supply units arrived, just on time to confuse me, together with new Corsair RW series.

Seasonic is not available option at the moment and I don't trust Corsair for longevity in their power supply units.

Luckily I have Enermax as a choice, but which one?

1. Enermax Revolution87+ 650 Watt - 108eur

or

2. New - Enermax Revolution X'T 630 Watt - 110eur

- I like the flat cables more on X'T model . No reviews.
- 87+ is multi-rail and reviewed everywhere.

What would you order for your:
i7 4470k
Asus gene 6 c2
2x8 gb, vengeance pro
Asus gtx770 oc. Future SLI
ssd, HD, b-ray DVD burner

Thanks!
K

If you want SLI in the future you will need a bigger PSU, unless you want to buy another PSU when you add the 2nd card. It looks like you will be overclocking so I wouldn't go with anything lower than 850w.

I think that I am very comfortable in 650 range.
The main question remains.
- 86+ or X'T ?

Either should be just fine for a single 770. Price is about the same, so it comes down to aesthetics. Since you like the cables on the X't go with that one.

That Enermax Revolution 87+ is listed in Tier 1 (the best tier). I can't imagine the Revolution X'T being too different, but, it isn't listed yet. It should be noted that the X'T is smaller, rated for 40C, instead of 50C, and has a three-year warrantry, not 5 year.

Yes!
That information is directly connected with caps quality over all power segments. (The overall % of HQ capacitors used, counts. Not just a few of them, so you can state that you have them in your PSU.)

So,
Enermax "Revolution 87+", 750w ordered, for +2 euros.
Thanks!
