Hi all,

I am looking forward to build my very first hi-performance PC, this is going to be a SandyBridge i7 2600.
Not sure what PSU to go for, i want the psu to be 850W, but dont know if i should go for HX series or Professional series.

850W Professional series.

I kind of like the second one the professional series (though the prices seem high), they have quite a lot of sata connectors, and gold certified plus.
But the only negative replies i see is that the cable seems to be smaller.
ANyone using this one??
Please help choosing.

Both are great units, if you want one that is slightly quieter then go for the AX 850, but both are very good units and as a user their wont be a notable difference between the two.

The only negative replies i read on newegg abt the Professional AX series is that the ATX12V cable is short to reach and connect to the motherboard.
Not sure if this is true... would like to know from from people who are using it.. and if would it affect effective cable management in the desktop?
