The CP-850 in here is Delta was my point.

As stated, anything Seasonic will be good.

I'm an Antec fan, but the Truepower Classic Gold 550 I bought for the last build lately was a Seasonic build, so it's more or less the same.

I'm agreeing with you actually ya know :)

I wasn't disagreeing with you, you know... I just asked if you were an Antec fan or a Delta fan, because it seemed you were more of a Delta fan despite saying you were an Antec fan ;)

Delta if they would make a bit more, but for fans I like Noctuas actually even though Deltas are good.

They are usually a bit overkill to become a Delta fan fan.

Ahhh, the CWT built Enermax Revolution XT series. Overpriced for what you get. I mean, really, using Capxon electrolytic caps in such a high priced power supply? And CTW's soldering isn't up to the standards a better performing unit like the Seasonic G-series power supply has.

I'd recommend saving a few bucks if anyone is thinking of an Enermax and look into the Seasonic G-series. NO second class capacitors, better build quality (much better soldering across the board), better electrical performance (the Rev. XT only manages to suppress +12V ripple/noise at 75mV while the Seasonic manages to keep the +12V ripple/noise down at 25mV).

True, the Seasonic has two fixed cables, the 24-pin and the 8-pin ATX connector, but given that both those connectors are necessary in any computer built today, I don't slam it for that. Oh, and the Seasonic's $20 cheaper.

I saw the 450W G-Series only 5 dollar cheaper, which is worth going from a 120mm fan to a 140mm fan with the "Twister" bearing. And the 24W less on the 12V lane don't matter for this build. Ripple is still well within specs, so not really problematic, but not great for that price, I agree.

I don't think you can go wrong with either of them, and OP should decide between them based on current price and availability.
