Hello,
I know I want a seasonic but which one? X-850 or wait for the Seasonic 860. The X-850 has only 8 sata plugs but I think the 860 will have more and maybe better sleeving cables. Which one should I get? Will Newegg offer a pre-order discount like the seasonic platinum 1000?

Hang tight. Watch for shellshocker deals and rebates from newegg.

Here is a link to the 80+ Platinum and Gold Certified PSU database with links to technical reviews:

It is up to date as of yesterday morning. The Seasonic 860 you mentioned was supposed to be released last month. Looks like there is a delay.

BTW - How many SATA connectors do you really need?

Well most psu has 10 to 12 sata plugs, right now I am using 7 so I want to have extra sata plugs if I choose to add more.
