I need some opinions on my purchase.
Probably around tax time I'll get a new PCI-e MB and 7800GT but other than that the system specs will remain about the same as my sig.
Also, I would like to stay in this price range with a single 120mm fan, honeycomb design high efficiency PSU.

On paper the choice seems to be the Enermax but I would like some real world opinions.
 
Real world opinion is that Enermax makes a FANTASTIC product. - I don't think seasonic is bad by any means, but enermax's have proved just so reliable for me, the fact of the matter is, every enermax I've ever owned has outlived it's specification's usefulness.


[What I mean by that is, I'm running a nf4, a64, overclocked, 24pin ATX 2.01 motherboard off of my "old" atx 1.2, 20Pin enermax - No pci-e plugs, no sata plugs, single 36A rail, and it's working beautifully as ever - and I've had this psu since I was running on an athlon 1 Ghz, that was "state of the art" at the time.
