Choosing between EVGA G2 850W and Corsair AX760i

[tattyseal]

Hello.

 

I am planning to build my new computer and I need help choosing between the EVGA G2 850 and Corsair AX760i

 

CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VII Ranger Z97
Graphics Card: Asus STRIX GTX 970
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB 2133Mhz
Hard Drive 1: Samsung 840 EVO 256GB
Hard Drive 2: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
Case: Corsair Carbride Air 540
Power Supply: ???

 

I have heard the OEM for EVGA is Superflower and the Corsair Silverstone.

I say evga all day. Except get the evga 750w g2, Save a few bucks because even if you sli later you will still have plenty of juice. The ax is platinum though. You will lose about 1-2% efficiency. Personally I don't think the price gap is even close to worth it. The 750w g2 is almost half the price...The quality for both are top notch though.

Yeah I just thought the 750w as you posted, the 750 is out of stock at the minute though, reason for saying 850 Yeah EVGA does seem better and ALOT quieter

Yes the EVGA G2 is a SuperFlower unit, but the AX760i is from Flextronics.

 

Both are good, solid HighEnd PSU's. I think the G2 has the better fan profile so i would go with that!

Thanks everyone, I just need reassuring, I don't want my PSU or 970 to have any whine

get the 750g2, the ax is better but not worth the price.

Yeah technically the AX is the better PSU, but it's a lot more expensive and they're notorious for coil whine

[Dimwitted]

Echo, echo. Both are tier one units. Both will do the job well and you won't be disappointed. But the Corsair is way too expensive vs the EVGA. Go with the EVGA.

750/850 G2, better value

[tattyseal]

Gonna go with the G2. Thanks.
