Hey guys so i just bought the "be quiet! PowerSupply (PSU) Straight Power 11 CM 750W" for about 1000kr which is a good deal (Sweden :) but a website has just put a deal out on the "Corsair Power Supply (PSU) HX750i 750W 80 PLUS Platinum" for the same price, should i return the power supply and get the Corsair one? or does it not matter ?

Gold vs Platinum... no big deal at all, not worth the hassle of returning one and buying the other.

Well you didn't need to buy a 750W unit for your system considering it'll use less than 400W without OC, and possibly up to 500W with OC. But I'd keep your PSU, doesn't make sense to replace it for no reason.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Yes and no need to return it as its a good PSU with an awesome fan.

 

SO why do you want to switch?!
