Hi,
sorry to ask what's probably an obvious question…
i'm after a 'Seasonic M12II-850 BRONZE ATX 850 Power Supply'
I've found two versions on amazon.co.uk.. both seem the same to me but ones £80~ more..
Seasonic M12II-850 EVO Edition, 80+ Bronze
£132.15
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seasonic-M12II-850-EVO-Edition-...
Seasonic M12II-850 BRONZE ATX 850 Power Supply
£213.00
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seasonic-M12II-850-BRONZE-Power...
I'm partly asking because i've often seen scammers…. selling things at almost twice the price they're worth on amazon..
Thankyou very much

Hi, thanks for your replies
Yeah i'm running two 290x vaporx Trix 4GB - in crossfire.
So the cheaper one is the newer/better one? - makes sense as the seller is: Seasonic..
and the more expensive one is a random seller who only has one left in stock ^^…
thank you very much - just saved me a bunch of cash
and got a better PSU.

awesome.i just found out that it is shipped with a continental power plug…
I'm in the U.K… and i guess i'll need an adapter… - but that worries me, could an adapter bottle neck my PSU?
god, nothings simple
thanks very much for the advice so far

No it would not but really the power cord on PSU's is std on the PSU side and you may have an old UK one laying around or you can just pick one up for same or less than the adapter.

std=standard
Basically the PSU has a socket and the power lead is connected to that not fixed to the PSU, basically this http://www.ebuyer.com/171628-cablestogo-universal-power...

You know you could get a 1000w PSU for almost the same price as that seasonic:

It's tier 1 in the PSU list too- http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1804779/power-...

Thankyou kindly rolli59so there is no 'special' PSU - power cord…. it's just your bog standard kettle plug?
doesn't need some special wattage, or bandwidth, resistor or other craziness?(i'm gonna go with the second one you suggested
)thanks VERY much.
5 amps fused is good for 5 x 230= 1150watts! Just a normal power cord the rest happens inside the PSU.
