Hi ! I wanna know which PSU is best for R9 280x vapor-x. So here are some PSU-s:
- Seasonic "G-Series" G-550
- Seasonic "G-Series" G-650
- Antec EarthWatts EA-550 550W
- Antec EarthWatts EA-650 650W
Both Seasonic are 80 gold plus and both Antec are 80 platinum plus. And in my country antec 650w is cheaper than seasonic G-650.
So which one to buy ?

Hi - At 1st look, going with the Platinum model appears to be the choice, it did get a v good review from Hardware Secrets.

However, I'd go with the Seasonic if the price difference is OK for you to handle.
1.) It has 6 more +12v amps (the key power spec) than the Antec EA650
2.) It has a 5yr warranty vs a 3 yr warranty on the Antec
