Best psu out of these 2

Jabbs · 28 Sep 2009 at 20:09

I have got a choice of 2 of these not sure if to go for the 700w or the 600w it seems for £1 more the 700 would be more logical but the 600w must be of better quality maybe ? anyway here they are, its running a q6600@ stock atm, 2 gig ram, 3 harddrives and the usual stuff and a 8800gts 640, but i want to put something like a 4870 in soon.

I would get the 600W one because its newer, modular and more effencient. But thats only my opinion

Looking at both PSU specs, the 600 watter is modular, the 700 watter is not.
Either will power your rig fine.
The 600 watter would be better if you have a small case & you want less cables to tuck away.

Why OCZ? I know they have a good reputation on here but lots of other places i visit report then blowing up, and i know several people personally who've had their systems ruined by them.

It means you only plug in the cables you need to use. And they're generally braided and look nice.

OCZ ModXStream Pro 600w for the win! (for some reason the abbreviation of for the win gets starred out?! :S)
