hey guys, I have decided to change power supply on the computer that i am currently building but faced with one question:
I have chosen SeaSonic brand but i do not know which model to go with.
I am struggling between

SeaSonic X-series x-750W (SS-750KM3 Active PFC F3)
VS
SeaSonic Platinum Series SS-760XP2 750W

at the moment, price for Seasonic Platinum series 750W is at $100 where as Seasonic X-750 is
sitting at $150. In price-wise, i would go for platinum but i saw some reviews that says something about wiring in platinum series is little faulty? =(

Please help me make this decision! thank you !

Not much, the platinum unit is going to use slightly different components which will let it get slightly better efficiency, but the performance and the topology is pretty much identical. Look at the internal pictures of the X-650 and the 660 platinum. The fourth picture down in each is a shot of the underside of the board, you'd be hard pressed to find a difference there.
