I'm looking to replace my tx950 with something modular and high efficiency to clean up the wires in my case. I will be looking into another water cooled 480 for sli in the near future along with a second mcp355.

Which one would you go for?

It seems like a toss up, though I'm not sure the Enermax is enough better to justify the cost difference (I won't need 6 PCI-E connectors).

I believe the Corsair and the Seasonic are essentially the same power supply.

Go with Corsair. It's a little cheaper and comes with a better warranty

Agreed...Corsair FTW!

JonnyGuru agrees as well

Corsair. Love their stuff.

Another vote for the AX850. Love mine!

The AX850 and Seasonic X-850 are on the same platform, so get whichever is cheaper. They're both better than the Enermax.

Corsair!

Lepa g900 same as the enermax but cheaper then the x and ax 850 the nzxt hale 850 also another great option

I'm more partial to silverstone myself but since there both essentially the same and corsair offers 2 additional years why not.

So the consesnsus seems to be the ax850. The 7yr warranty is looking good.

Does it have the best ripple suppression/stable voltage of the 3? I know they are all stellar, but I figure since I'm in the 200 ballpark, I may as well get the best power supply, and not the most popular or cheapest. 20 bucks is the least of my concerns.

flip a coin between the X and AX
