AX850 vs ST85F-P

[PCBudgetSolutions]

Corsair won the last round, let's see if they can take it home.  Which is a better VALUE.

why would you buy a value oriented PSU if you would have to spend 700-800$ on 2 GPUs to really us it? :D

im a big corsair fan and would pick corsair over anyone
but if your looking at the money point of view then i would of thought Silverstone

[PCBudgetSolutions]

Not entirely sure which PSU I really want to go with.  I want the best value for my dollar.  I feel 800w+ I need incase I do SLI GTX 770's/780's.  Value is price vs performance.  Is 210 worth it over 195 because of xyz.  Gotta budget my PC properly.  Cut costs w/o cutting reliability and performance.

Just like the OCZ Fata1ty despite being a good price, is not a great value b/c of quality.

i take it your talking dollars ?
if your looking at PSUs in the same price range then check some reviews
if reviews are similar the get the one you think would look better in your build

I'd go for Corsair, just because of Corsair, and their reliability.

Well, a few things to look at. The AX850 is more expensive, but the cables are cheaper, also custom colors. However, I'd have to remove the sticker then of which the warranty is void. That gold AX850 sticker would ruin the build look. But the Silverstone PSU is only 80+ Silver and their cables are pricier for what I need and they only make black cables. The AX760/860 cables are 100 bucks, so that's why I am not going that route.

Corsair AX850 is the old Seasonic X Series KM1 or 2 i'm not sure.

The XFX Pro Series Full Modular Edition 850W is based on the new Seasonic x Serien KM3, with nice black cables and stuff.

Corsair= old seasonic design and 170$, XFX new Seasonic design and 150$

i would get the XFX

What individually sleeved cables can I get with this?  I will not, I repeat will not spend hours of end attempting to sleeve each cable myself.  Not worth my time to be honest.

[Scottywelsh16]

get the corsair ax and the corsair sleeved cables

Problem is I lose the warranty, or else I would say screw it and get them.

[Scottywelsh16]

AX series have a 7 year warranty
