I have all of the components I need for my first ever PC build. However, I still cant figure out which PSU to buy. Ive decided that I want to get a Seasonic platinum series because Ive heard that they are quite (no coil whine) and they have a good warranty. Im choosing between either of these two:
660(SS-660XP2)
760(SS-760XP2)
Currently, Im thinking about the 760XP2 because its only around $20 more than the 660 at Newegg. I would appreciate any thoughts on these two models. The most important thing I'm looking for is for it to be modular and not have coil whine.
Here are the PC components Ive purchased:
