Just one.... not the OcUK Battle. Compared to the others it's a vastly inferior unit.

Not particularly. They are built down to a budget rubbish whichever way you look at it.

+1

Any of the others are good. Would add the XFX ones to the list too.

are the older OCZ ModXtremes still ok? There's a 700W on offer for £64

Operation · 16 May 2011 at 13:33

Pretty good actually, yes.

Edit: for the price

olivier renault · 16 May 2011 at 13:34

ok-ish. I would go for this or this or this over a ModXStream, if you are on a budget and looking around 650W -> 750W.

ModXStream 700W review.

What is the rig?

Would have to be modular, OCD couldn't cope otherwise. What's up with the modxtreams?

AMD 1090T with a 6950 (6970mod), 3 x SATA HDD.

Read the review above.

review seems to suggest the modxtream is not very good.

Well it's not great, but then no 700w psu at that price point will be. I'd say it's decent for the price, but would suggest it's more sensible to be looking near the £100 mark.

true. The XFX are good value for money. XFX 650W XXX is modular and £75. Used to have the Antec New TruPower 750W for that price, but not any more.

Being a kinda budget man myself Zytok, i was going to buy the StealthXstream 600w but after much consideration i will now be going for an XFX PSU. I'm running an i7 build with a Hiper 530w PSU (which ive had for 3 years) which makes a rattle noise on occasion and im not risking it tbh. Im going for a Seasonic, might treat my build with some dignity and i think that is the most importnat thing because im not skimping on a cheap PSU on my build NO...WAY!
