How's the PSU?

Pugs501

http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story5&reid=163

 

For visuals alone, I'd opt for something else due to it being non-modular and having shitty sleeving. 

 

/I'd still go for an EVGA G2 750w

It's ugly and non-modular but if those aren't issues to you then it's an excellent PSU. Considering it's half price the negative points for value on Jonnyguru's review are pretty much irrelevant. 

 

If I was looking for a PSU I'd definitely get it.

It's great but not really the best value. 

I'm looking for cheaper than 50-75$'s

What are you powering?

I don't see how it's ugly.. I have a few EA Plats to my right and they're just solid black for the most part.

NVM. 

 

That PSU is generally okay. I'm seeing conflicting PSU tiers, some say 1 others say 3.

 

EDIT:

 

Right, I can't seem to find anything about the OEM so I assume Antec is the OEM.

 

As for the tier Tom's hardware doesn't have it listed there so I'm going by my usual list that I go to: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?108088-Official-XS-Power-Supply-Ranking-Phase-I

 

This list has it at Tier 3. I'd recommend looking at something made by Seasonic within your price range. Never buy a budget PSU unless it's made by Seasonic.

How often are you on this site? Wow

 

Anyways, that sleeving.... I could measure the gap between the connector and the heatshrink with a yard stick

I should note that I would heavily PREFER a Modular PSU!

Do you plan to add a second 780 later on?

Hope Fully...

Also can I use another 780 that isn't a EVGA?

Cx isn't the best but it isn't bad.

Yes, brand doesn't matter for sli. 

Should've probably mentioned you were planning to sli: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-power-supply-capstone750

Then for the price either the Antec or the Capstone, since there isn't really anything that's powerful enough, great quality and modular. 

 

Yes you can SLI different brand 780s
