Question

Is this power supply good?

Mar 15, 2015 5:19PM PDT

Hello,

I want to upgrade my PSU and I wanted other peoples opinion on what you guys recommend.

My current PSU: Corsair CX750M

My PC build:

Motherboard: MSI87-G45

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHz, 3501 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)

Memory: G.Skill 16GB

GPU: PNY Factory *OC Geforce GTX 780ti

HHD: Two Seagate 1TB each and one 250GB SSD

Note - I have lots of lighting, even though it does not use much power.

The PSU I am looking to upgrade to is the Seagate 860w PL.

It's not the same PSU

No it's not the same psu.

I did not ask this in the other question, because in the last question I just wanted to compare the two different models of PSU and gather others opinion on it.

What do you think about this PSU, in this question?

Agree....would have made sense to continue the thread

'as is', 'where is', and perhaps he would have had time to say 'Thanks' for the feedback provided. So much for gratitude and manners.

Seems nice enough.

Single rail, quiet (subjective to many), reviews are fair at link. Kinda high priced but should be good for years.
