Yeah, it's a Tiger rebate, but at least it's not that McAfee bundle crap.

I believe that these XFX Core edition PSUs are SeaSonic-made.

80Plus BRONZE, not GOLD. Still, 750W SeaSonic for $40 ain't too shabby.

Edit: 2015-10-25 - thanks for the kind words RS. Still available!

Nice find Larry. This is a really solid PSU for $40.

It's funny though because in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, etc. there will still be PC gamers in the US asking for a <75W TDP GPU or a 6-pin GPU only when quality PSUs has never be cheaper! But no, they will continue paying exponential premiums for under-powered GPUs simply because they can't figure out a way to buy a proper $40 PSU

Tiger uses 4myebate, so they are reliable.

(Also personally, I've gotten back all the rebates I filed from Tiger Direct purchases)

I remember back in 2006 when I built my first PC the Seasonic made Antec NeoHe 550 watt I bought cost me around $80 (or more).

Yes, the situation has a changed a lot since then.

Now a good (Seasonic made) 550 watt like the XFX TS series regularly goes on sale for $26.99 AR at both Newegg and Tiger Direct. With 6 and 8 pin power connectors it can handle almost any single video card.

And this Seasonic made 750W is pretty amazing to me as well with (two) 6 pin and (two) 8 pin PCIe power connectors.

P.S. Here is the conclusion page from the JonnyGuru review on this PSU.

Look past the annoying packaging, and you find a very well performing, very stable power supply that I wouldn't hesitate to put in any of my computers and run all day long. These are just good units here, people. Go buy one.

I would also like to add. If you bank of bank of america. Check your deals page.
I have 10% back upto $50 from TD so I get extra 7.50 back on this if I purchase it

I have the XFX TS550 ~ is this that much better ?

Probably not. It's higher wattage, but still Bronze.

I would only get it if your current PSU is more than 5 years old, OR, you plan on getting a pair of high-powered GPUs, rather than just one.

It was fortuitous that I bought two of those Antec Edge (SeaSonic) 750W Gold PSUs, as I have now found a need for them, I'm probably changing out my H81 micro-ATX boards, for Z97 ATX boards, and putting in dual GPUs in each of them. Which would require FOUR PCI-E 6-pin plugs, which my current EVGA 500W doesn't have.
