As I said, whichever is cheaper. But again, you're unlikely to need so much wattage. 850W can power 4 980s...

I would suggest to go with EVGA as it is cheaper and performance wise these 2 are same. Also the longevity if running your system to the limits the EVGA power supplies had lasted a lot more... And also if I recall correctly EVGA G2 is in Tier I - there is like a list assessing the parts used and it is among top power supplies.

However if you ever had issues with coil whine and are looking for silence. I would go then with Corsair they have coated some internals to reduce the possible coil whine.. so there is that.

G2 without a doubt. You're comparing a tier 1 psu to a tier 3 one and the funny thing is the g2 actually costs less so yeah, go with the G2.

Whichever is cheaper.

 

EVGA G2 is the way to go imo.
