They are both excellent power supplies, I am not sure what the actual price difference is between those, I only understand the US dollar lol. But if it is substantial in anyway I would certainly get the EVGA GQ. Not considering price I would probably opt for the seasonic, but like I said both are excellent. I linked a review of the EVGA GQ below.

I would go for the GQ personally, considering a nearly 30 dollar price difference.

The only thing which is making me not is its semi modular, I dunno what it has attached to it but im getting the Phanteks Sleeved Cable Ext so i dunno if that will play a part but not sure :)

Only the 24pin is hard wired.

By the looks of it they are both the same Unit, the seasonic one just had longer warranty and is fully modular

They are pretty different internally I believe. The seaonic unit is built by seasonic. The GQ is bulit by FSP. But in terms of functionality and overall quality and performance they are very similar.
 


There are NOT the same unit.

If you want an EVGA get a G2 or G3, NOT the GQ.
