OC3D Review: XFX Black Edition 850w ATX PSU

[Chuckers]

Hehehe, I'm not listed as a noob for nothing Yeah I know, but I was shopping for a PSU poised to buy the XFX, and linked to this review. Had to give Tom his props you know 

Just so you know, the new XFX Pro series are very good (rebranded Seasonics) so don't confuse them with these old models from a few years ago and let that put you off the Pro series because you wont be disappointed with the new range!

XFX review

Thanks Chuckers, I have the XFX P1-850B-BEFX 850W 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply on hold at Newegg, great price to $101.00 after 20% discount and $15.00 rebate. So It's either that or the OCZ Z Series OCZZ850M 850W 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply about $80.00 after $30.00 rebate and $30.00 promo. Great prices just when I need a power supply. I just need to choose one. I think I’ll go with the OCZ. Unless There is a reason I'm not aware of to reconsider. Thanks for all the Info though.

Go for the XFX, they are much better quality than the OCZ units. It's not to say that every OCZ unit is bad it's just alot of their products are poor quality and dont have the longevity that the Seasonic XFX's have so people tend to steer clear of OCZ as a whole.

(I know I have an OCZ psu in my sig but I'm changing that in the next week or so! )

Hi Chuckers,
So do I my OCZ is a 650w, but thanks to all the good advice I’ll be swapping mine out for the XFX PRO850w at a great price.

Thanks again.
