If forced between those two, Id take the HX.....Id rather have the Seasonic X series ... the EVGA G2 is the equal to the HX and $30 cheaper.... HX 650 - 850 are some of the best units ever manufactured....the 100 and 1050 were dogs... The HCG had a 9.5 performance rating.

10,0 performance rating on the HX850

10.0 performance, 10.0 build quality and 10.o functionaility on the HX750I

So given the relative scores between the HX, Antec and EVGA G2, the EVGA scores the highest and the fact that it is $30 cheaper shoulkd make the choice an easy one.

They are both Tier 2A units so are probably similar in quality. As to whether you need 750 or 850w depends on your hardware. What are the model numbers of your CPU and GPU?
