Should I get the XFX Pro 850w black edition or the Seasonic X-850w. Both are 80+ gold, both are fully modular and they both have a 4.8 stars out of 5 on pc part picker. The Seasonic costs £140 and the XFX costs £115 if that would affect your purchase. Which is the best?

XFX is made by Seasonic; so it would be wise to pick the cheaper of the two (XFX).

Thanks, your answer was straight fo the point. I thought I should go with the XFX originally because it is made by seasonic anyway and it's cheaper, but I thought the Seasonic might have higher quality conponents or something to justfy the extra proce, but I guess it's just branding. Thanks again.

The Seasonic X series is fantastic, and the XFX 850W 80+ gold unit is actually the same as the Seasonic X-850, so i would go for the cheaper of the two which is the XFX considering they have the same innards.

Seasonic units are generally priced higher so they don't cannibalize the market of their partners.
