Bitfenix 550w vs 650w

[Raz]

Hi,

I've been looking at PSUs and am thinking of getting a Bitfenix Whisper as it's been recommended on here before and has good reviews. I wonder though is it worth getting the 650W over the 550W given that it's only ~£7 extra? Are there any others that I should consider?

Have a fairly basic setup at the moment

thanks

For a extra £7 the 650w version is the better value of the two but for less than £2 more than the 550w Bitfenix you can get the even better Seasonic Focus Plus 550w. It's a very compact psu at only 140mm long and is gold rated and fully modular like the Bitfenix but has a longer warranty at 10 years compared to the Bitfenix 7 years. You can read a review here at Jonnyguru.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Seasonic Focus Plus 550W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £84.95

Thanks, I may just go for the Seasonic one then. Hopefully it'll pop up in the weekly offers!
