How much do you have to spend?
And do you actually need 850W?

The XFX is made by Seasonic with a XFX external look, so if you want to say £20/£10 then I would grab that for sure!

The only thing i have a problem with XFX i heard they are bad for RMAs and sure enough looked at the reviews on this site of that one and they had to send it to Canada at their exspense!

If you buy it through OCUK then they should be able to handle the RMA.

If you do go for the XFX model then you may be waiting a while for it to come back into stock.

Can i ask why you would choose that one?
Thanks
Just an update read some reviews and they say Seasonic are the biggest manufacturers of PSUs, and they get reasonably good reviews except a couple complained about fan noise.

DaleTheWhale · 29 Apr 2013 at 13:27

They are probably the best PSU maker at the moment with great reliability. Fan noise, I'm unsure about but my Corsair 860W (with Seasonic Internals) is extremely quiet.

BigChief · 29 Apr 2013 at 13:30

I have the XFX XXX and it is great.

Tackle_Berry · 29 Apr 2013 at 15:32

Just bought a AX850 which I am very happy with very quite fully modular and also the cables are fully black and most are braided, nicer then the HX850 I just replaced. Also I complained to corsair about having to pay £45 to post back the HX850 to them in the Netherlands for RMA so they arranged for UPS to collect it. Hence why I stuck with Corsair.

Bacon? · 29 Apr 2013 at 17:44

Seasonic definetley, even just for the 5 year warranty with OcUK

(model depending, some are more)

VIPER258 · 29 Apr 2013 at 18:42

7 year warranty on ax850 plus service from Corsair is top notch.

But it costs quite a bit to send to holland

anthony566 · 29 Apr 2013 at 20:26

People who have had issues with Corsair PSU's are getting the picked up by UPS at no cost to them .....

So it looks like it doesn't cost you anything to send them back to Holland

Always one to recommend Thermaltake.. Take a look at their Smart Series 850w
