Return my psu for another one?

[apav]

Hey guys, I recently bought this psu and just got it today:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139011

However someone on the forums here recommended this "newer" version of the psu:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139015

Its gold certified and for the same price with the discount I'm not sure if its worth it to return and get this one.

That is not even "newer". That is a completely different PSU from Seasonic based on the Seasonic X series (one of the best) while the HX is based off the older seasonic platform.

Both are absolutely wonderful and it's not even worth spending $40+ for 4-8% more efficiency when both are absolutely high efficient psus.

Keep it and ignore this "someone" and their ignorance.

But, the HX850 is built on a CWT platform

Thanks, it was someone on the forums who helped me with an unrelated topic but gave me a "heads up" about it when I posted my specs.
