Hi, I bought a new Corsair Crystal 460X case and looking for a PSU for it.  I need the hard drive cage in the case so the length of the PSU will have to be under about 165mm in order to have enough room for the cable connections.   I'm looking at the EVGA 750 or 850 G3 ($119 on Amazon) or the EVGA 750 or 850 P2 ($129 on Amazon).   From what I read on EVGA the main differences are:

 

EVGA G3:  130mm fan, Hydraulic Dynamic Bearing, Gold

EVGA P2:  140mm fan, Double Ball Bearing, Platinum

 

I'm leaning towards the G3 because it's a newer model but I'm not sure.   Any advice would be great.  Thanks.

The P2 should be slightly better but I like the G3 more because it is smaller.

Also, the G3 has unbelievably good voltage on its rails. Way better than any other PSU on the consumer market (maybe with the exception of the Seasonic Prime).

I personally go with the P2, if the larger footprint isn't a concern. On top of it being more efficient (not a drastic difference), it does have a much more relax fan profile and thus is quieter.

Hi I ended up going with the P2.  I found out I can move the HDD cage forward in the case for about an 10mm space.   Thanks for the help!
