Hey guys,
I'm thinking of replacing my PSU. I have wanted to for a while but, since my X1900XT just died and is probably going to be replaced by an 8800GTS, I figure there's no time like the present.
I was looking at the Antec Trio 650W because it looked a lot better than the Antec NeoHE range in my opinion, but as it's out of stock I found myself looking at the 550W model instead (since I won't need that much power.)
I also spotted the Corsair HX 520W though, same spec as the Antec Trio 550W but 5% less efficiency. Which PSU is the better of the two, and is there anything else in that price range I should really be looking at?
I've usually only ever used Antec, Akasa, Seasonic, Thermaltake and Enermax PSUs so I would prefer to stay with those, and supposedly the Corsair PSUs are built by Seasonic so they sound like a decent bet.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Sincerely yours,
Ulfhedjinn.

don't see anything wrong with Antec though.
