Hey guys.  I am looking at 2 power supplies from EVGA and Corsair.  I am choosing between the EVGA SuperNova 550 G2 and the Corsair SF450.  Both are modular power supplies.  Both claim to have Japanese capacitors and both have the 80 Plus Gold certification.  Which one should I go for?  Leave me a suggestion.  My specs are an Intel Core i5 4460 and a GTX 950 SSC.

 

SuperNova 550 G2: http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=11611107145 $103.98 ($79.94 USD)

SF450: http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=11181128447 $102.49 CDN ($78.80 USD)

The G2. The GS, although still good, isnt as good as the G2. 

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.

EVGA G2 550W is arguably the best price/Watt/Quality unit on the US market today. There are other decent units for cheaper, but none of such high quality for such a (relatively) good deal. the SF450 is also a great unit, but its designed for where size is important (such as a ITX case). If you're not pressed for space, there is no reason to get it over the G2

 

You could put one of those in pretty much any system and never have to worry about it.
