which of these 2 psu's hi folks
i cant make my mind up which of these 2 psu's to buy tomorrow. with a modular psu i get more space in my case so good airflow. nut ive seen some bad reviews.
non modular i get a shed load of wires takin up loads of room, these r the 2 im lookin at Scan.co.uk: Coolermaster GX RS750-ACAAE3-UK 750W Power Supply (PSU) XFX Pro 750W Core Edition PSU - Single Rail 9x SATA 4x.. | Ebuyer.com
ive never bought a psu b4 and dont know which is the better modular or non modular. ive also read that 2 12v rails r better than 1. i have a a none modular dual rail at the min but its cheap 1 ezcool ps1000 infinty 800w made by JSP Tech.
which do u think is the better psu or can u suggest a decent 1. the xfx is my max budget

Id try for a Corsair, Antec or Seasonic.
Im not too familiar with either of the 2 you've linked in terms of reliability.
Is this for the PC in your system Specs? If so, why not just go with a 550 or 650W? Will still be plenty of power with room for upgrades.
750W is a bit overkill for that setup. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom (Self Build) OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit CPU Intel Core i7 2700k (4.5Ghz) Motherboard eVGA P67 SLI Memory 2x4GB Mushkin Redline Ridgebacks (@1866) Graphics Card EVGA GTX570 SuperClocked (1280MB) Sound Card XiFi Titanium HD Monitor(s) Displays LG W2453V Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Saitek Cyborg PSU Seasonic x750 Case Corsair 600T (SE White) Cooling eVGA Superclocked CPU Cooler Hard Drives [OS SSD]Intel 320 (80GB) -- Intel X25-V (40GB) --WD Black (1TB)x2 -- WD Blue (640GB) Other Info LG BD/DVD |

When buying a PSU, it's better to get a quality brand, like Corsair.
I have one & I'm very pleased with its performance.
I'd suggest something like this: Corsair TX 650W V2 Bronze Certified
