What to chooooose?!

Both the same price. Both compatible with my case. I've got a feeling a lot of people will say 'Corsair all the way!' or similar, but Antec are also very good, and an extra 200W...

Anyway, have your say :)
 
depends what its powering, 2 high end xfire/sli cards then the Antec.. but purly because of the extra 200 watts, If thats the case id get a 750w Corsair. If its just for a single card then the Corsair 650w.
 
The Antec CP 850W is basicly a custom Antec Signature Premium 850w PSU with the fan on the outside, at a bargain price (I presume partly subsided because you have an Antec case).

The Antec CP 850W is comparable with the Corsair HX 850W in quality, if not even a tad bit better, and just a bit lower in overall +12v output and efficiency. 64A vs 70A.

Anyone looking for a 850w PSU with a compatable case would be silly not to get one at that price.
 
please explain???

What he means is that when future components come out, you will be ready for them. In this case, it means that 650W is more than I need now, but might not be enough in the future and I will have to buy a more powerful PSU. However, the 850W is ready for the future :P
