Hey guys,
I am attempting to choose a PSU. I know I need 1000W but I am stumped as to the differences between efficiency of the PSU as it relates to Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum types.
For example, I was wanting a Corsair RM 1000i but some people said they were made cheaply. So I was thinking of the Corsair HX1000i instead.
But it's $100, and the only thing I see is that it's 80+ Platinum instead of Gold. People say it's more efficient but the specs say the efficiency difference is 90% for the Gold and a pathetic 92% for the Platinum. I think I'm missing something because 2% cannot be worth over $100.
Thanks!
