Every xfx PSU is made by seasonic, which is one of the most reliable OEMs in the market. Only the expensive cooler master supplies are seasonic-made

Harsh. Pending on your region, I'd recommend our GM series! :)

Even though the GM series are CWT units, they still don't compare to Seasonic. There is nothing wrong with CWT per se, but they don't offer as clean of power as a Seasonic unit. This was already experienced by Corsair, when they moved from CWT to Seasonic when making the TX series power supplies.

Phanteks Enthoo Pro Black | Corsair TX750v2 | ASRock Z97 Extreme4 | Core i5 4670K @ 4.4 GHz @ 1.27V | Corsair H105 | 16GB Patriot Viper 3 PC3-12800 | EVGA GeForce GTX 770 | Axiom Signature III 240GB SSD | WDC 1TB Blue | Hitachi 750GB

I use a 'moron filter' on tech forums. If I don't respond to your post, considered yourself filtered out.
