Which PSU?

Cooler Master Silent Pro 850w
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/176413


XFX 750w Black Edition
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/191824

After doing a "which PSU for you" test the result showed i needed a 400w PSU and then a 600w ish PSU if i choose to SLI. Therefore a 750/850w PSU would be more than enough for future expansion, and SLI. Both seem like pretty decent PSU's, they are both modular, and both come with loads of cables for various things. I think the only real feature difference is is that the XFX is 80 PLUS Silver Rating and the CM 850w is only Bronze.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

When it comes to power supply xfx is a better brand plane and simple then CM is, I would highly reccomend the xfx 750 over any Cm psu.

XFX PSUs are made by Seasonic:

One of - if not - the best high-quality PSU companies out there.

The 850W silent pro is made by a company called Enhance?

I say go with the XFX for sure.

Wow thanks for such positive responses for the XFX :) I liked the design of that myself, and it saves me about £10 :)

It's because it was created as a discussion rather than a question.
