I am going to upgrade my gaming-come-productivity rig this Christmas, and on the Daily Deals page from Scan there are 2 power supplies that caught my attention. These are the:


  • SeaSonic SS-750AM
  • be quiet! Power Zone 850W


  • Both manufacturers seem to have good reviews in general, but I cannot find any specific reviews for these products.

    The SeaSonic has a limited choice of additional cables, and has 100W less power, but is GBP20 ($30-odd) cheaper.

    The be quiet! has the reverse of the above, and is fully modular (though that doesn't matter to me.) I am in a fix as to which to choose!

    Many thanks for your help.

    Depends on 1) if you use only single GPU, then 750w PSU is the one you want to get because it is the one size fits all, even one with lower wattage like 500-600W.2) if you use CF or sli, then it depends on what GPU you had. http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm

    cin19: I am confused about what you mean, if I chose an 850W PSU, would that not be backwards compatible? I do not use SLI/XFire.
