Why do you say so?

Seasonic units have hardcore reliability.

That Seasonic M12 is great.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

I would recommend going with XFX for your PSU. They are Seasonic OEMs and are really good value for the money. The XFX XTR 750W is currently powering my gaming desktop with no issues. It also has has great johnny guru.com reviews.

Pretty sure your XFX is based on the design of that Seasonic so unless it's cheaper there really is no reason to recommend it. Not saying it's a bad PSU though :)

The XFX XTR 550W 80+ Gold Certified Modular PSU. Better 80+ rating than the Seasonic Unit, with the same quality and reliability since it is an Seasonic OEM unit.

Thats exactly what I said, but the corresponding Seasonic Unit has a lower 80+ rating. Plus the Seasonic wasn't available where I live.
