So my CX500 is finally out of warrenty so its time to upgrade, here's my choices:

Antec EDGE 750w:

XFX XTR 750w:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-016-XF&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1497

(Both basicly the same seasonic PSU if my research is correct)

Superflower leadex 750w:

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-013-SF&tool=3

(Seem the best but short cables, don't like the look but I won't see it anyway)

Running a 4690k and 970 in an enthoo pro.

Seriously, you must have loads of money to do that boi, so you've got a perfectly good power supply but, oh shit, the warranty's out better get a new one, you must get a new ps every year.

You have 3yrs with it and I've worked my arse off.

Edit:-deleted bad day-

I have a soft spot for Antec, they have served me well over the years... them and Silverstone.

Can't decide on 650w or 750w tho

There really is no bad choice out of those 3, but honestly unless if you are planning on upgrading other stuff in your system a 650w will be better suited. I would just get the one that looks the best(in your opinion) or has features that you like(ex: The Antec has LED's).

Thanks, tbh looks don't matter because it's under a PSU cover anyway

Get the EVGA G2 as it has a much longer warranty (10 years). It is virtually the same internally as the Leadex.

Review which also shows cable lengths - http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story2&reid=380

Went for the leadex, couldn't afford the g2

EDGE and XTR are based on Seasonic G

Yep, its what I went for in the end. The reviews pretty much pointed at it being the best PSU out there

Leadex is the best out of the 3, and is better then the Seasonic G (which the Edge and XTR are both based on)
