which ever is cheaper. And I believe there was a bad patch of RM750s they burn out quickly.

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

EVGA G2 750W hands down

Yeah, the only reason I was thinking of going with the Corsair is that it can be cheaper (sometimes, although the EVGA is more often cheaper here in Straya), and because you can buy just a 24 pin cable for it custom-sleeved, but you have to buy a whole set of cables for the G2 (as far as I've found). I was thinking of just changing out the 24 pin for something more interesting/colourful. 

50Cent sweg.

I see that you have an EVGA. Is it good? I'll probably go with the EVGA.

Yes it is amazing. It looks sexy, feels premium as heck, impeccable customer service (in order to get the warranty you must register within a period of time but 1 email was all it took for me to claim my 10 years warranty even though i was a year late) and it has never, NEVER failed on me.

I've never heard super flower before

SuperFlower is the OEM, or makes the EVGA SuperNOVA G2 units.

Oouuwww.... So, evga bought their stuff?

They bought it and slapped their name on it, which isn't always a bad thing. Channel Well Technologies (CWT) makes most of Corsair's power supplies, Seasonic makes some of XFX's and Corsair's power supplies. The list goes on.

Which power supply guys?

 

The Corsair RM750 or the Evga G2 750?

Coming with experience from both of the powersupplies, I liked the RM the most. I had both the SuperNova G2 750w and the RM750w. I feel no stability issues when I changed from EVGA to Corsair, but I noticed something else. My SuperNovas (which both got RMA'd) were loud as f***. Might be something defect, since they actually accepted it as RMA, but man did it kill my ears.

 

But from what I can tell, most EVGA powersupply owners are very happy about the G2 series, as well as the RM owners seem to be happy about their powersupplies.

CPU: I7 4790K(4.6@1.252v)                               Case: Fractal Design Define R5 Windowed(Black)           Cooler: CM 212 EVO + NF F12 iPPC

RAM: HyperX Fury 1600MHZ CL10 2x4GB      Storage: Samsung 850 EVO(250GB) + WD Red(2TB)      PSU: Corsair RM750 (and no, it hasn't blown up!)

EVGA. I have a B1 500w unit and it's beautiful, dead silent, and pretty stable. Especially for its price. Though I've heard some bad things about their NEX units, the G2 and B2 units especially are great.
