Help Choosing a 1000w psu!!

[f12ostii]

Simple question...which should I buy for a 1000w psu the nzxt hale90 1000w or the corsair professional hx1050... want opinions on which is better since both have good ratings and reviews. wanted opinions before i make my purchase??

 

[mcnumpty23]

they are both excellent choices

i would get the corsair simply because i know they have excellent support--i have no experience of the

nzxt support so dont know how good they are

What are you going to power with it. Half your home?

I would go for the Hale90 over the HX1050, the HX1000 and the HX1050 were both good units but aren't spectacular units. The Hale90 is based on a Super Flower platform which have shown themselves to be superb performers and very efficient. I would take the hale90 over the HX1050.

And then he gets it to run his 5770 lol

lol im running crossfired 6970s OC
phenom x6 OC to 4ghz
8gb drr3 ram
3 1tb WD black caviar
*** load of fans(8) and cathodes
corsair h80 water cooling for the cpu
and have 6usb devices
25in asus VE258Q monitor

i know 1000w is overkill i was originally thinking to but a corsair hx850 since it have great ratings but at a price of 169 i can get the nzxt hale90 1000w for the same price at directron...so im leaning more to that....
I use to have crossfired 5770... o.o

I just want to be safe and not skimp out on my psu.
