I'd get the HX, have never had problems with them.


To me its more than just for PC gaming, this is a hobby of mine. One of the least expensive at that. I'm also into cycling, the pricing for PC stuff compared to that pales in comparison.

Copped a $600 dollar bike only to find out it was the GT 640 of the game, :dead:
Yo, quick question. The HX850 is sold out on newegg now, will a 750W PSU suffice for a dual 280x, amd sempron 145, 1 hdd mining rig?

I just worry about that 24x7x365 operation breh. That shyt gets me like :lupe:

I would get a rosewill capstone gold rated 750W for that and save $50 on each of my builds. Should be smooth since you are only using 680 from the wall with your dual 290x's

HAWLA at me

Yeah I just did some research on the capstone. I think I am going with that because it saves me about $210 overall setting up all these mining rigs

I read this like the homey shilka@ocn typed it out, :whew:

Like dude said the Capstone is actually the better unit/choice, especially if you're just running 2x 280x's on your rigs. Even if you needed more wattage there would be better choices than the HX850. To me it was RM vs HX cause that's all Micro Center had available and I needed my fix at that moment.

omg that dude is something else. but i can't help but admire dudes persistence and disdain of corsair and seasonic lol

Trill story. I'm the biggest Corsair fan because they've given me no problems with RMA's in the past. Like bent over backwards and twerked status, but this dude be having me looking at em in some other way at times :wow:

His hate for Corsair is real..:pachaha:

corsair has one of the best customer services in the game. its the reason why they are so synonymous in pc hardware. but their products are a bit too overpriced for me.

People keep saying 780

But I think 760 will be the absolute minimum (especially the 4GB variant) unless someone can tell me otherwise :lupe:

Do you plan on playing new PC games in the future? Or is that less of a priority.

The only thing worse than but a low-mid card is realizing that its worthless a year after you bought it.
