750w PSU single rail, wicked high reviews and it's on sale for $30 after MIR. Any reason not to grab this (other than being a little noisy and not modular)? Given the price I would've assumed it will blow up, but every single review I've found has been a solid 5-star saying it's great. Edit: Just noticed it's not 80+. Does that matter? I get electricity free. | ||

That's an old unit and is rated for maximum power rather than continuous so... quality is questionable. And 1 year warranty, that's a joke right? lol | ||

Some SolidGear are Powmax, which are really really bad. Don't know about that. I'd rather have one of those Corsair CX430 after rebates easily. In general you want to buy the thing with protection circuitry that probably actually works and maybe a design that doesn't necessarily fry things when things go south... all other factors aside. | ||

Would an R9 280x and Haswell overclocked (probably on air or cheap water, nothing insane) need more than 430w? 500? 600? | ||

I think 430 for all but high end single GPU + haswell quad is fine - of them, 280x would be highest power consumption. ~550w for 290/290x/780/whatevergk110 single GPU and haswell, if you're looking to push stuff a bit. | ||

If you don't care about warranty, just get the refurbished Corsair unit from NCIX. I'd link it but their hamster is dead. | ||

I don't know the difference between the two Gigabytes but I'd just take the higher clocked model. | ||

Just because it's not in the name doesn't mean it doesn't support SLI. | ||

Not needing an adapter is my main reason, and it'll be nice having a good, quiet PSU. I take it ncix server crashes every black friday? every site crashs a bit on days like this. but ncix us still works for me. maybe candians use it more | ||
