EVGA 'New Version' PSU

Hello!

 

So, thoughts on this PSU?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438025

Its on sale, 5 year warranty seems pretty nice, and I've been hearing EVGA's PSUs are good.

"Normandy" i7 4790K - GTX 970 - Phantom 410 (Gun metal) - Z97 Extreme4 (asrock) - 128GB Crucial SSD - 1TB WD HDD - H60 Refurb. - 7 case fans | G710+ Keyboard, G230 Headset, Acer GN246HL Monitor.

Quick thoughts on system: I7 is extremely quick and I'm glad I spent the extra for hyper-threading. I regret my decision to get the GTX 970, it has horrible coil whine. There isn't any excuse for this terrible whine I and others are having. I HIGHLY recommend a 144hz monitor. Future Improvements/upgrades: Rubber fan mounts, basic speakers, more ram (for a total of 16gb), replace GPU.

144hz is love. 144hz is life. I like to submit unfinished posts then do about 20 edits. I like the Night Theme too.

It's a fine enough unit, and for a good price as well. I would buy a 550W Rosewill Capstone M, but that's just if you're going single GPU.

Hoping to go SLI in the future, otherwise I would just get a nice non-modular 550w-600w PSU. Thanks guys. These newegg sales are really nice :D

Rosewill PSUs are surprisingly decent. Would not hesitate to recommend one of those.

 

80+ Bronze though...

 
In the real world, the savings you get from platinum vs bronze for average use won't even get you a cheap fast food meal and will take a long time to actually make up the difference to pay for itself.
 
Maybe if you were 100% stressing it out 24/7, I'd see a reason, but for a typical desktop, a bronze unit is all you need. Anything above that is just a nice extra.

The EVGA NEX B1 is an FSP made unit.

I would say it is on par with a Corsair CX or other low end psu. For the price it is a pretty decent buy, but nothing spectacular.

 

The only excellent EVGA psu's are the Superflower made units. The rest of the lineup is just average.
