Downgrade Watts and buy modular?

[I Hunta x]

Reet im selling my 2nd 4850 so i dont realy need my 680 watt tagan psu so im thinking of selling it and using my old 600 watt ocz stealthxstream for the time being or mabey buying a 6/700 modxstream(modular ftw).

so i ask you guys.

1) Keep my 680 watt tagan

2) Sell it and use my 600 watt stealthxstream

3) Sell it and buy a 6/700 watt modxstream (probably 700 watt as i may be able to get one from a mate)

----NOTES----

I was running 2 4850's (220w max usage total) on the stealthxstream for a while then i moved to a taller case so i got the tagan as it had a longer 24 pin connector and i could hide it, but since moving to an antec 300 the longer cable isnt realy needed (and tbh it gets in the way cos of the limited room behind the 300's back pannel).

The 5890 is going to use around 225w?? max usage id guess going by the power the 5850(170w)/5870(188w) use so 600 watt will still be enough once there out and i upgrade, but tbh by then i should have enough saved for a new psu + the card as i doubt they would be out to long before christmas if not till after christmas.

So any thourts or advice would be apriciated a bunch.

I think you should wait till you have the money and then look again, the corsair hx650 would be a good bet tho dude tbh.

I've always thought selling psus as a false economy.

Sooner or l8r, especially with enthusiasts, there comes a point where u either want one for testing or another rig or whatever.

U sell them for a % of what u buy them for and buying a new one when u *need* to isn't a cheap business these days. Especially if u get quality ones.

Not sure what the deal is, but the prices aren't the best imo.

well i have a 700 watt thats to long for any one to want if even if i decided to sell that so ive put that in my home made test bench (perfect size for it), ill see if any ones interested the tagan as its a nice psu but i need the money atm.
