Im just about to buy the parts for my new pc and I came across the EVGA supernova 550w Modular psu. I think I heard that EVGA was better but the once I am currently choosing is a Antec psu (links below)

The EVGA is better it's a tier 2 on the tier list in my sig while the antec is tier 3 or 4 I believe, I'll check, but regardless the EVGA is superior. (even in price some how)

 

Edit: The antec is tier 3 as I suspected, it's still good but the EVGA is better in every way.

https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/631048-psu-tier-list-updated/ Tier Breakdown (My understanding)--1 Godly, 2 Great, 3 Good, 4 Average, 5 Meh, 6 Bad, 7 Awful

Both are great but the GS is slightly better.

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