OCZ GameXTreme 700 or Corsair HX620W

[IndyJaws]

I've left JonnyGuru a PM, but want to get your recommendations as well...

E6600
8800GTX
P5WDH
2x320 7200.10
Corsair PC640 4-4-12
18x Samsung DVD/RW
Ultra-120 HSF

I will be OC'ing to at least 3.0 GHz, would prefer to get close to 3.6...

Do I go with the OCZ 700W or the Corsair HX620W?

Please advise...I've ordered all the other components..........

If you are not planning SLI my choice would be Corsair HX620W.

I am planning on doing pretty much the same thing.

I am going with the Corsair 520W. The DailyTech article showed their 8800 GTX system using 321W under load. I don't think I need a 600+W.

But since the OCZ PSU is cheaper atleast on newegg, right now, why dont you get that?

I have it, and I tried (with my friends master) a X1900 Xfire set up; And it worked fine, while powering 4 HDD's, 2 optical Drives and 5 fans ....

More expensive, and seems lower quality to me. I think it's a waste regardless.

Corsair HX520W w/ SLi

The better option. More then enough power for that rig, and you can just add a Fortron X3 300W booster in a open 5.25" bay if you want to do SLi later on, without worrying about your PSU not being enough power.

Just a FYI.. JonnyG would prefer people using the JG forums rather than sending him PMs. Catch his thread at his website for more info. As far as the two OP's choices go, the Corsair is considered the better quality unit but the OCZ isnt a bad unit. Actually its pretty good. Having that extra 100w will be a help in future upgrades or running dual cards.

Seasonic M12 > FSP Epsilon... essentially the Corsair HX and M12 are the same, and the OCZ GXS and FSP Epsilon are the same with a different case.
