Changing PSU

[corban]

Turns out i need to RMA my corsair HX650 PSU which is being done today, my question is when i recieve my new one do i sell it and upgrade. I have posted here about wanting to watercool and theres a possibilty of me getting a 6950 this week on the cheap and i would sell my current card to grab another if i can to Xfire them.

The PSU ive been looking at is either the AX 750 or the AX 850 i love the idea of completely modular and the corsair design fits with what im imagining for my rig for the future.

Is there another PSU i should be looking at that is TOTALLY modular like the AX and is 80 gold plus with a good design ?

well if ur gonna xfire then go with the AX850 best choice imho

You can't really fault the AX850 - I haven't seen anyone post a bad word about it. (7 year warranty as well)

Yeah im struggling to find any reason to even look at other psus , and no one seems to offer an alternate so think ill be going with the 850.

So a small update , firstly i will say Corsair are an EXCELLENT company to deal with reguarding RMA i am quite bowled over at how nice and helpful they have been to me.

My hx650 has been sent to the netherlands which is where their RMA service is in the EU i believe well i sent the PSU and ouch it cost me 30 pounds to send it which isnt nice, so i called Corsair and spoke to them telling them id paid 30 pounds to RMA this back and the lady i spoke to on the phone was really excellent with customer service , after an email or 2 and a copy of my reciept of postage for my PSU (just a quick photo taken on my phone and attached to an email) i received an email back from her saying she was sorry but they couldnt refund my postage as it would cost too much with bank charges and exchange rates etc. However she has offered to upgrade me to a HX850W PSU instead!! maybe some people feel this is what youd expect but this to me is excellent service and i really cannot recommend Corsair enough after this (altho not sure ppl needed convincing before).

I know this isnt really on topic but i do feel like when companies as big as Corsair are as easy and as nice to deal with as they have been to me they deserve a mention , top quality products and to my knowledge so far the best RMA experience ive had gives them a very big thumbs up from me.

Now my problem comes that i wanted the totally modular 80 plus gold AX850 (ungrateful git you are all thinking i know!).
