If you had to choose the BEST 1000W+ power supply, WHAT would it be and WHY?
I'm going to upgrade my PSU this Christmas in anticipation of 2 new video cards replacing my gtx460s, and I want to know what you guys think is the best power supply out there.
Considerations when making your choice:
1) Cost is not an object, BUT if I'm going to pay a lot, I want to know why.
2) Must explain facts about why it's the best, not opinions.
3) Energy efficiency is not as important as output quality.
4) Must be modular. Completely modular preferred.
5) Cannot be Enermax or Thermaltake. No exceptions.
6) I hate bling and gimmicks.
7) PSU must be quiet running @ system idle/low workload.
8) Top mounted fan preferred.
I'm hoping someone has some good options out there besides the obvious like Corsair HX1050/AX1200. I've thought about those two, but I need more options. Have fun!
