I'm trying to figure out which is a better option - the CX (Amazon) I can order from Amazon for 70$ because of BF promotion for free shipping, the HCG I can buy at a local store in my country for 110$ (that also sells the CX for 100$).
This is my current build that I'm slowly buying:

What would be a better option performance and reliability wise?
I'm a bit worried to order the CX from Amazon because it might get damaged during the shipping... I wouldn't want my PSU to betray me in 2 months.. For the HCG I have the warranty from the store so I could always have them easily replace it for me. On the other hand, it's 40$ difference..
** Non-modular vs modular isn't a factor for me, I can manage the cables
