Hi everyone,
My estimated build wattage is around 600w. I plan on adding a 500gb SSD scratch drive very soon, two 2TB-4TB HDs soon, and a second GTX 780 6gb in a while, which will bring the total wattage to around 900w.
My first choice of a PSU was the Seasonic X-series 1050w, mostly because of the Seasonic name. But after factoring in future upgrades, I don't really want the PSU to be that close to its limit. I've read a lot of good things abut the EVGA G2 PSUs, and having and extra 250 watts is quite good. These are the two I'm comparing, but if a different PSU is in the running, I'm not opposed to other brands. It's just that these two were on the top-tier of a PSU list that I have seen.
But at the same time I'm trying to build the quietest PC I can. I've already got a Fractal Design XL R2 and Noctua NH-D15 in order to reduce noise. So will either of these PSUs be significantly louder than the other? If by chance anyone has used both of these and can comment, it would be great. But I'm sure a lot of people on here have more experience than me, and can offer some insight into my volume-related issue.
Thank you in advance to anyone who has a suggestion.
