so i found this http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I5HF0KU/?tag=pcpapi-20

 

im OK with the price on i but the seasonic version is way more expensive.

 

they are both full modular, 650 watt. 

 

ik that xfx is like msi or gigabyte using nvidia so technically the xfx is the sea sonic is one better than the other?

I've got the XTR 650W. XFX PSUs are just seasonic rebrands, so they have the quality just with a more attractive exterior.

I'd also suggest the EVGA SuperNOVA GS 650 or, even better, a Seasonic 660XP2.

I don't think the XTR is that gamery if you ask me. No leds, all black, only a slightly graffiti style logo on the side. Otherwise it looks sleek and a lot better than the pictures make it out to be.

The XFX XTR and EVGA GS are both Seasonic G... It's just that the XTR and GS are fully modular (vs semi-modular on the Seasonic G) and they have hybrid fan mode whereas the Seasonic does not. However internally they're all pretty much the same.
