Hello TH community

Simple really which is the more advisable to go for, since I am having trouble convincing myself.

Sea Sonic X 750
Corsair AX850
Antec HCP 850
Coolermaster Silent Pro Hybrid 850.

All are Gold rated I think, all have more capacity than I will ever use.

I'm not sure about the others but I would go the CM Hybrid 850 as it has a single 12v rail and research suggests that is better. I'm going to get the 1050W version myself

The Seasonic X-Series 750W (X-750) has the best electrical performance out of the four you've listed.

Corsair HX750W.

It is all very compelling and tough to choose.

The HX series unfortunately are unavailable, only the AX and TX then lower end GS and CX. Ironically the Seasonic is the cheapest though it is a 750w while the Coolermaster Silent Hybrid is the most expensive partly down to the fan controller unit it comes with.

Capacity wise I am not that concerned, my basic GX550 has enough capacity right now, that doesn't however preclude the fact that I want to delve into the multi card setup arena again, and I want a liquid cooling system along with higher end case ventilation. I am certain a solid 750 will suffice, but the high end PSU's with gold efficiency ratings seem to start at 850W range.

I did alternatively consider the Antec TP-New 750 and Corsair TX 750 V2 though it is not well placed in a price department.

PS: I am not from the US so inflation, taxing and retailer mark ups mean that somethings are more others less expensive.

What I am looking for here is general opinions and experiences with units, I would like to compile a list to thoroughly study and make a choice from there, I would had colour coding to be the reason of my choice .

Where are you from? If you can shop Newegg, then The Rosewill Capstone 750W is also an excellent PSU. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182073&Tpk=rosewill%20capstone%20750

South Africa, funnily enough it works out sometimes cheaper to import.
