XFX vs Antec

[r3uz0r]

Hey everyone. I'm going to buy a new gaming rig with Ivy and probably 2 gpus, so I started looking for 1000w PSUs. I found 2 I enjoyed the most, XFX Pro Series 1kW Black Edition and the Antec HCP-1000 (both platinum). Which one would you choose?

tyvm!

The Kingwin LZP-1000.

thanks for replying so fast! What do you think is the main advantage Kingwin has when comparing with the other 2?

Great Super Flower build quality. Great ripple suppression. Semi-fanless mode switch (fan stays off until PSU's interntal temps hit a certain "critical" level). It also costs less than either the Antec or the XFX. Of course, the disadvantage is that this particular PSU is not fully modular like the two you mentioned.

If you wanted a fully modular unit, I would pick the XFX.

Yeah and as far as I can see, I would only leave behind one 8 pin connector from the "fixed" cables, so I think I will go with the KingWin. Thank you very much for the suggestion!

I'm sure you can find local shops which have the Super Flower Golden King 1000 on offer... if not, your best bet is hardwareversand or bestseller, both offering EU wide shipping for around 25€.
