jammin Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) Are those the only two options you have? Where are you buying from? Anyway, I might lean in the direction of the Seasonic, though the Sapphire is apparently built by Enermax (pretty much the same as their Modu82+ from a quick bit of research). I would think that either would be fine though I would like to know if you have other options, as there might be something better for the price.

ronius Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 i preper focusing between those only , i have corsair 550vx right now , fantastic psu but i dont think it will be enough for the new system and i want some space for headroom.

Alexandre Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Your system will be needing at most about 450w @ full load with a combined current of 30A on the +12 volt rail(s) so your current Corsair 550VX will be fine and will give you about 100w of head room. If you want more than I would go with what Jammin said and probably look to getting the Seasonic if these are the only PSUs you want to choose from.

jammin Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Yep, I would say that your 550W Corsair should still have a good bit of overhead. If you were concerned, you could always pick up a power meter such as a Kill A Watt and measure it once you do get it together.
