Hi need advice

Go to solution Solved by WoodenMarker,

First of all thanks for the help.

[Q]

If I want to add a water loop in the future .

Or I want to upgrade the rig in the future.

 

Both have 7 years warranty So I think it's a good buy

Someone offers something else?

I again mention they cost the same price in my country

 

The 860i Looks good .. But just look .. I have the case of the Corsair Carbide Air 540

Is quite hidden there .. So it does not matter Beauty

Both are overkill. A single 750w bronze would be plenty.

I do think that 1000W is overkill for you needs, but is up tp you.

If you're not expecting to add any major custom watercooling loops, out of those, considering you don't need that much wattage and the corsair is cheaper I'd go 860i. I prefer the AX860i cause they come with all black cables whereas the sleeving on the Seasonic aren't as nice.

 

Both are excellent. If one suits your build more then maybe consider that aswell.

I would go even lower and say, if you don't build a custom loop, you will have plenty of headroom for overclocks and a bigger SLI/Crossfire combo than that, with only a Corsair 760i.

 

Corsair Link may also be fun to play around with and the accessory shop from corsair is better (e.g. pre-sleeved cables). Man, i wish i had a corsair 760i instead of my seasonic G-S. 550W. :D

who cares...

They are both great power supplies I guess its up to which one matches your build the best, if you are into that kind of thing that is. If it doesn't matter to you what it looks like go for the more watts if you plan on adding some power hungry parts in there at some point.

Case: Corsair 460X RGB bby, CPU: I5 8600K, Motherboard: MSI B360M PRO-VDH, RAM: 8GB Hyper X 2400MHz , Graphics Card: GTX1060 6GB, PSU: Corsair RM750x,

Cooler: BEQuiet!  Pure Rock Slim SSD: Kingston 240GB, HDD: 2TB Seagate Barracuda
