So I'm going to SLI my GTX 760's and my current PSU can't handle it. So I need another one. I'm debating between 3 Seasonic power supplies,

The first, or second. 660w is plenty for 2 760's and has platinum. Platinum means it conserves more energy that others that dont have an 80+ platinum.

Here is Guru3Ds power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX 760 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.
GeForce GTX 760 SLI - On your average system the card requires you to have a 700 Watt power supply unit.

If you are going to overclock GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with a bit more stamina.


The X series is the cream of the crop but I didn't see it on newegg.ca

$160 @ NCIX

Thew M12 is just a small step below ...

$125 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681...

Others in that level of quality include:

$90 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681...
$125 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1681...

Based upon price, I'd have to go with the EVGA

I know. I looked. That's an OK one. So's the M12II 750 I posted and so are the other ones Blackbird posted.

So out of all of them, what would you recommend? What has the longest warranty and would be the most reliable?

G2 models from EVGA have a 10 year warranty they are your best bet.

I still like the Seasonic M12II. Seem to be built like brick outhouses - bullet proof.

That's one of the reasons why I asked if ya didn't think the G2 was worth the $10 over the B2 recommended above....tho I think the better quality / performance is more important as I don't generally keep a box more than 5 years, the fact that they are willing to give it a better warranty I think indicates that they have more confidence in the Leadex platform components over the SF Golden Green platform.

The M12 is solid. Based upon the Seasonic AT/AM platform..... Other units based upon this platform are the NZXT Hale82, XFX Core 650-850 and XFX XXX Bronze
