 taking into account all of those, would this be a better investment ? http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_995&products_id=13278

the xfx equivalent would be about the same. HIgh end psu's don't have too much different from each other.

xfx are all seasonic rebrands so they should be great, but xfx just doesn't have the best fans on the psu + the customer support isn't very good.

XFX psu's are fine. They are from Seasonic. You'd want a 850w bronze for a 290 cf though.

Should be good, but be weary that it may come DOA or there may be a malfunction or a mistake that was made during manufacturing that could cause your PSU to blow up or stop working

Hope I could help!

Haven't had a problem with my xfx unit. 

Spoiler

Corsair 400C- Intel i7 6700- Gigabyte Gaming 6- GTX 1080 Founders Ed. - Intel 530 120GB + 2xWD 1TB + Adata 610 256GB- 16GB 2400MHz G.Skill- Evga G2 650 PSU- Corsair H110- ASUS PB278Q- Dell u2412m- Logitech G710+ - Logitech g700 - Sennheiser PC350 SE/598se


Is it just me or is Grammar slowly becoming extinct on LTT?
