just so you know, if you care or not i don't, just letting you know, you ahve the corsair 520hx twice in the honorable mention section, now i know its a great psu and you might have meant to do that, but you might wanna take it out of one.

Oh, I see now...
So just sell everything but the power supply. Or shove a different one in.

Re: Updated Power supply guide

u should have the silver stone strider 600w in the bang for your buck section 600w modular quad 12v rails. all can be had for cheaper then a 520hx, i own this psu and its a monster.

Re: Updated Power supply guide

Im not a big fan of multi railed power supplies. Especially a 600 watt with four 12V rails.

Still a good power supply, but I would always reccomend a single 12V silverstone over one of thier quad railed ones.

Re: Updated Power supply guide

honestly 1 rail ftw

thats why you don't add the rail amperage (because of loss of efficiency)

Re: Updated Power supply guide

i still think it deserves honorable mention for bang for yoru buck considering its 99.99 at most places, and modular at that.
