Need Help Picking a Power Supply

[gsheph252]

So I am building a Skylake system. My budget is currently around $200. I am looking for something that will handle the upgrades I plan to make over the next two years as I move from HDDs to a SSD RAID setup. 1000w should be more then enough for a max of 2 980 TIs. But my question really is which one to go with. I don't mind noise, I game with my headset on and music on. I do want platinum efficiency though. I have been considering the EVGA P2 1000w PSU and the Corsair H1000i. If there are others I should consider let me know any help is appreciated thank you.

Just pick something from Tier 1,2, or 3.

EVGA P2 1000W is the best of the best. But you would be fine with a 850W power supply, it's more than enough to SLI 980Ti's. Get EVGA G2/GQ/GS 850W if you want to save yourself some money.

If you have too much to spend, the P2 is absolutely excellent

I actually have an AX860 though it doesn't have the i because the i was $10 dollars more and I couldn't figure out why they were charging me $10 dollars for extra letters in the name. >.> Should I just stick with that and spend the money on more ram?

AXi is superior to the AX internally

Then you're fine with your AX. But if you wanted to change it, you have my recommendations above.

You could go for the RM850i over the HXi. It should be cheaper, and while it is at a lower efficiency, it is based off of the same CWT platform with the same features, as well as it has extra v.sense wires and capacitor on their cables to help with voltage regulation and ripple suppression that the HXi doesn't have.

 

But since you already got your current AX860, I would just stick with that.
