Posted November 19, 2014 To the OP: EVGA seems to offer a longer warranty. Correct me if I'm wrong someone, but it seems as though you get 10 years vs 7 years with EVGA over Corsair. That reason alone, to me, warrants the extra $6 the EVGA costs lol. i5 2500k+Noctua NH-D14 - 8GB HyperX Blu - 240GB PNY XLR8 - Sapphire Reference 7970 - P8Z68-V Pro/Gen 3 - OCZ ZX 850W Unlike *some* people, I do not claim to be an expert computer guru.

Posted November 19, 2014 Actually... I take that back. G2 850 is on sale for $144.99 at the moment. That's not a sale. It was on sale 2 months ago for $102 The quality of the g2 is still higher. And if the OP wants to deal with a rebate it's $125 Ryzen 3700x -Evga RTX 2080 Super- Msi x570 Gaming Edge - G.Skill Ripjaws 3600Mhz RAM - EVGA SuperNova G3 750W -500gb 970 Evo - 250Gb Samsung 850 Evo - 250Gb Samsung 840 Evo - 4Tb WD Blue- NZXT h500 - ROG Swift PG348Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 19, 2014 Not with the HX850 being on sale for $139.99. That's $50 off regular price.. hard to recommend something inferior for more money The EVGA offer better electrical performance, ripple suppression, build quality, full modularity, and as well as a 10 year warranty... How did you consider it to be inferior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 19, 2014 That's not a sale. It was on sale 2 months ago for $102 The quality of the g2 is still higher. And if the OP wants to deal with a rebate it's $125 Since earlier I've come to understand this is true about the build quality. And yes, the G2 is on sale for 9% off @ Newegg.com. With the mail-in rebate, you get an additional $20 off. i5 2500k+Noctua NH-D14 - 8GB HyperX Blu - 240GB PNY XLR8 - Sapphire Reference 7970 - P8Z68-V Pro/Gen 3 - OCZ ZX 850W Unlike *some* people, I do not claim to be an expert computer guru.

Lol it is hard to recommend something inferior for more money...get it... Since earlier I've come to understand this is true about the build quality. And yes, the G2 is on sale for 9% off @ Newegg.com. With the mail-in rebate, you get an additional $20 off. It's actually $135 on amazon. And I say it's not a sale because I think that is just the new standard pricing. Usually newegg and amazon say it's a sale instead of setting the price lower when it changes.

Posted November 19, 2014 I was originally going for a Corsair RM750 for my new build until I read the reviews, now I'm going with the EVGA Supernova G2 750 instead (and I've always been a huge Corsair fan).

(Better rated than the rm850) http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=377 Sorry I'm posting this again, I'm using my phone and it's freaking out haha anyway I did decided on the super nova g2 but I had a thought of getting the 750 instead? I have a 290 now oc'd and I kind of want to xfire in the future but that doesn't mean I will. If I did i don't think the 750 will work but would the 850 even work for xfire 290s??
