Two Options PSU

stephen3295 · Jul 5, 2014

I can't deice which of the two power supplies I should get. The xfx 750 or the Rosewill 750. Im leaning toward the rosewill because it has better components and its on sale right now but I'm not sure. And yes I know Rosewill isn't the best but those are the two options I have.

While the Capstone is a good PSU, you are going to have to go some to find a better PSU than an XFX.

I would suggest either Seasonic or XFX (made by Seasonic).

are there any for the same price that are better?

Probably this one if your counting rebates:

9.9 out of 10 from jonnyguru.

Performance (40% of the final score) - we're down to scoring time again. And, as with all other recent units from EVGA and Super Flower, this one will be a breeze to score. Pass for Gold, both cold and hot, means no points removed from a perfect score. Amazing ripple suppression the likes of which has only been seen a handful of times on this site means no points removed there. And finally, yes, this unit did manage to hold onto an average of 1.2% regulation in the hot box so no points come off there, either. This guy's getting a 10.

Functionality (20% of the final score) - full modularity. Lots of cables. Good cable lengths. Plenty of connectors. Switchable semi-fanless mode. Lots of goodies in the box. Nice size 16 gauge line cord. I really can't think of anything to complain about here, either. 10.

Value (20% of the final score) - $144.99 is the asking price of these at Newegg right about now. It shares this price with the Silverstone ST85F-GS. Now, about the only thing that unit has on this one is its much shallower depth. Other competition? What other competition? Coolmax? More money, if you can believe that. Corsair HX850? More money. Corsair RM850? More money. Themaltake Toughpower Grand? More money. Seasonic X-850 KM3? Way more money. EVGA has this category locked right down. 10.

Build Quality (20% of the final score) - I'm going to remove a point for the fan control wiring and be done with it on this one. Soldering is good enough to pass with no deductions, the AC line filter is pretty much all there in the end, the component selections are fantastic, and the capacitors are wall to wall Japanese. 9.5.

Any other options that are little closer to the price I wanted I don't have much leeway. 70-80 dollars is my limit for this 750 watt power supply

To be honest i think you have chosen the best quality ones for that price already. Only other one i can think of is this.

XFX Pro 750W: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750snlb9

For around that price, the Antec HCG-750 (non-modular version) is AMAZING quality. It is actually able to provide 900w while remaining within ATX Bronze specs. It is OEM'd by Delta which many reviewers place at the same level or higher than Seasonic in terms of quality.
