Which PSU to keep?

Gerr

I am consolidating my two gaming rigs into one and will combine the left over parts into a gaming PC to be sold.  Picking the best parts to keep is easy outside the PSU's as I have two good ones.  I need help deciding which PSU to keep.  The system I will keep is an OC'ed 6600K on a Asus Z170 mobo, with a single GPU, currently a 1070, but might sell it and upgrade to a 1080.  I tried SLI once, not doing that again.

 

PSU #1:  SeaSonic G-750 750W 80+ Gold (model SSR-750RM)

Bought 10/16, light use, ~5 hours a week, mainly gaming.

 

PSU #2:  EVGA GQ 650W 80+ Gold (model 210-GQ-0650-V1)

Bought 4/17, heavy use, ~20 hours a week, all gaming.

 

Both are good units and are Tier-2 rated PSU's.  The Seasonic is older, but more powerful.  The EVGA is newer but weaker.  They probably have a similar amount of total use.

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

Keep the seasonic, used less and you have more wattage if you will want a higher tdp GPU/CPU

Seasonic. 80+ Gold, 750W, and I'm assuming modular.

Both are semi-modular.

 

Warranty...

EVGA - 3Y parts, 2Y labor

Seasonic - 5Y parts & labor

 

While both PSU's are listed as Tier-2 on this forum, on Tomshardware forums, the EVGA is listed as Tier-1 while the Seasonic is still Tier-2.

Both are tier 2 in @STRMfrmXMN tier list. Tomshardware tier list isn't reliable.
