    [SOLVED] 750W Showdown: HCG-750 vs TruePower TP-750 vs. Cooler Master RS750

    Thanks, another poster on another forum has said that buy the TP only if the price difference between it and the silverstone less than 30-40 bucks (its a $100 diff for me!) I am secretly hoping they run out of silverstone so I am 'forced' to pick up the TP :p

    Many thanks for the review links and the insight I need to have a talk with the shop owner since he tried to off-load me the GX and insisted I need the 750W, saying that I would need it for my overclocked GTX card I will not be overclocking the CPU or anything else.
