Silverstone ST50F vs. ST50EF+

[attosaibu]

Have you heard about the new SS ST50F? If I'm not mistaken, it was built by FSP (CMIIW). The price is so cheap (around $60). Compared to ST50EF+ that goes around $90 (built by Enhance. isn't it?), is this PSU really worthed for the price?? Or should I pick the ST50EF+ because of the 80% efficiency?

FYI, My rig:
E6550
P965
2X1GB RAM
7800GTX
2 DVD
3 HDD SATA
1 HDD PATA

I use it for gaming and multimedia... Just a little OC... So, what's is the best CPU I should pick?? Thanks b4

New? I think the ST50F is old and the EF is the new one.

Yup, Silverstone Distro have started to sell the Strider ST50F locally, exactly built by FSP. The Silverstone website also has shown this product in their line up. The inside pic is almost a carbon copy of what FSP Blue Storm 2 looks like. Just a small component on the AC filtering side that exists in the Strider makes it slightly different than the original platform. Dunno what it is though, anybody have any idea ?

By the way, the Strider is sold for around 65 US$, while the Element Plus stays @around 83-85 US$. At that price, which one carries the best value ?

Oh.. yeah.. I remember that unit being discussed here a while back. I wasn thinking of the Enhance built ST50 before they added the "Plus" at the end.

They need to stop reusing the same part name/numbers over and over again. It gets confusing.
