hey everyone, i cant decide between these three PSU's?

Antec HCG-520w
Seasonic S12II 520w
OCZ ModXstream pro 600w Modular

I like the modular(ness) of the OCZ but im totally unsure.

Can not spend any more than $99 on www.pccasegear.com (only on that site please)

My rest of build:

i5 3570k
HD7850
1tb Seagate Barracuda
Cm Storm Enforcer
Asrock z77 Extreme4
Corsair Vengeance 8gb
Cm Hyper212EVO

Thanks!

The HCG and S1211 are both made by seasonic, they're specs are VERY similar.

I think the only major differences is the Antec fan, it's MUCH quieter.

The OCZ does not even compare to the Antec and Seasonic offerings.

I personally recommend the Antec one, well this is because I own the HCG 620W. But, either one will serve your needs.

Modular doesn't really make a difference in cable management.

Interesting. All three models were introduced in 2010. All three were recommended. The Seasonic and the OCZ were recommended for mainstream use. The Antec was recommended for gaming. The recommendations were based on competent technical reviews published by sites that have the appropriate equipment and personnel to perform rigorous in depth testing and component analysis.
