It depends on your video editing programmes but chances are the R7 1700 will be a better choice:

Power supply efficiency does not correlate to quality...

well i have had bad experience from bronze corsair psus but thats just me i guess, i always go for a g2 where possible 

I would just draw that up to bad luck. Power supply quality is always going to vary from unit to unit, so it's not exactly a fair thing to say that all Corsair power supplies with bronze efficiency ratings should be avoided.

I agree for G2 but 80 + Gold doesnt say anything. For example EVGA NEX is 80+ Gold but has poor electrical performance.

Sorry for insulting you. I've actually got a chance yesterday to see how PSU performs and I gotta say I am pretty impressed (I was building a rig for my friend on college). Can you send link of that thread ?

Yeah I know remember. Sorry for insult. I've learned in those days that PSU's don't rate by efficency. They rate by component quality. :/ Am I right cause when comes to PSU's I am nothing but person that knows nothing about it.

it's by quality and performance. check the psu tier list and individual reviews in the future, don't judge by brand, efficiency, etc.

Thanks I already checked post. When I was building my new rig I was looking at that post so I decided G2 550W.
