Might be upgrading my PSU soon, is the HX worth the extra £30 over the TX?
Spec is CF7970GHZ @ 1.250v and 3770 4.8 @ 1.350v

Hx is more efficient than the tx.

Hi, l like to have a bit in reserve, you might consider this XFX Pro 1000W Platinum £20 more than the HX850 as l mentioned in your other thread -

XFX Pro 1000W Black Edition '80+ Platinum' Certified Modular Power Supply £149.99 - XFX based on Seasonic if l remember right, starting to get recommended by some forum members, might be worth reading some reviews.

Although I'm using the HX850, and always swear by Corsair products, in this case I have to agree with OLDPHART. Too many faulty Corsair products at the moment, and the price of the XFX 1000 BE is definitely not to be sniffed at.
