Hi,
I have to choose from these two PSUs for my computer build:
Antec High Current Gamer 620M (83.99 @ Amazon)
OR
EVGA SuperNOVA 750 B2 (79.99 @ Amazon)
The Antec unit is made by Seasonic and the EVGA one is (I think) made by Super Flower, both of them are good manufacturers, IMO. I'll be running one Geforce GTX 750 Ti in my system and I will definitely get some higher-end GPUs in the future and keep the PSU. The only differences that I really care about between them are the wattage and the number of certain connectors.
So, which one is better?

Thanks in advance!

The B2 is better it's made by Super Flower and has more PCIE connections more power on the 12v rail.

The 620M has less power and only 2 PCIE connections.

1, Isn't Seasonic an equally good OEM? if not, why?
2, I don't think I'm going to run quad SLI/Crossfire anytime soon:) , what else would use PCI-E power connectors?Thanks!

It is , but the 620m isn't as good as the XFX models made by Seasonic.

1- seasonic is a good OEM but the HCG 620M as is the older superflower platform used the evga supernova B2 units (not to be confusing with the better G2 units)
2 - in a single GPU build, not much else

3. the honest truth is its doubtful you see a real world difference between the two. either PSU will do the job just fine.

Put it this way if there was a Bronze Tier I would have it in the top.

The 620w is decent but not one of the best OEM's from Seasonic.

Also, would the SuperNOVA NEX 750B (http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperNOVA-ATX12V-Supply-110-...) be better or worse than the B2?
Sorry if i have a lot of questions:) 


not exactly sure why evga made revisions so quickly from B1 to a B2 but that usually is not a good sign, I would personally take the B2 over the B1.

The 750B2 is a SuperFlower made unit but as it's only an 80 Plus Bronze unit it is not based on their higher end platforms. It's probably decent but it's new and there are no reviews yet and it is designed to be a budget unit.

A system with a GTX 750 Ti only needs a recommended 400w unit. A quality 600w-650w unit is plenty for any single card setup.

The 750B is an older discontinued FSP made unit. I would avoid it with better choices in the same price range.

Just note only a few EVGA power supplies are high end. The rest are middling to decent. Price will reflect quality for the most part.

OK, I'll be going with the 750 B2, then.
One last question, though. Would it successfully power, say, 2 GTX 760s in SLI?

True, but I'll be running SLI in a few years..., not with the 750 Ti, of course:)  The 400-600 watt EVGA units are made by HEC, and it's kinda low quality. I determined the SuperNOVA B line of PSUs would be the best bet for me.

Why would you want to go from a single 750 Ti to 2 x GTX 760s? A single more powerful card is always better than a multiple card setup. Much better to just get a GTX780 or whatever the replacement is coming out next month.

It was an example:)  I'll be waiting for the new Maxwell GTX 8xx cards.
