New PSU needed.

[PistolPete]

Hi All,

After I've established my PSU is dead I need a replacement.

I'd like a modular, and would like 750w to allow for possible future upgrades.

I've been eyeing up the Corsair HX750 and the Antec TPII Modular 750.
The Antec is just over £100, and the Corsair is just under £120.

Anyone offer any opinion on either?

I would go with the hx750 or if you want something a bit cheaper you could go for the http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-042-OC&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1098 which is a very high efficent psu, Another option is http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-032-OC&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1098

+1 Corsair offer quality products when it comes to Psu's, also the 7 year warrenty they offer is just unbelieveable. +1Corsair.

Take into account that when the Corsair goes wrong you have to pay to send it to Holland for the RMA after the first year.

The Zalman heatpipe psu's are fantastic and practically silent. Best psu i have ever had. UK RMA too!!

Yes, but I would rather pay the £10 - £20 P&P for the rma than not have 7 year warrenty

Stick with quality brands when it comes to PSUs.

Corsair are a very good reliable brand and the HX750 looks very good.

Consider also the OCZ ModXStream Pro 700w (only £76.99),

Personally I would consider going with the OCZ 700w PSU. Not sure if the Corsair is worth the extra?? any thoughts

I learnt the mistake of getting cheap PSUs a long time ago, hence why I'll only choose a respected brand.

I saw the OCZ and I could not work out why it was a lot cheaper than similar spec PSU.
I've got no problems with OCZ RAM, but not sure what their PSUs like.

HX750 ordered this morning - thanks too all for their input.
