Default PSU for C2D

I'm thinking of buying a C2D rig with E6400 and 7950 GT KO, and I'm wondering which PSU would be better in terms of how quiet it is and how stable they are (with little to no overclocking).

Trying to decide between:

OCZ GameXStream 700W -

or Seasonic S12-600 -
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=14428

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,

NiK

Hi.

The OCZ would be my choice of the two. The amperage is better, and I seem to see a lot of positive feedback from current owners.

Both are really good PSUs and highly respectable.

Personally I would go for the OCZ just because of the higher rails and you were to upgrade to an 8 series card, the 8800GTX more specifically, it would yield more room to err on the side of more versus less amps that the card requires.

both are of equal build quality. thus, i would go with OCZ in this case because of the higher amperage on the 12V rails.

Indeed, OCZ for more 12v rails.
