Which of these PSU's should I get?
Hey guys, I want to get a new PSU to have enough power to maintain my HD3870 stable, seeing that Rosewill (I own a Rosewill RD500-2SB 500W) is not a very big brand.
Right now I'm between these two:  http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...=corsair%2bpsu - or - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341001 I'm very undecided. But Im leaning towards the Corsair just because of the modular cable management, although the OCZ looks sicker with the blue led. Thanks for any comments!

Personally, I'd go with the Corsair, and I'm sure a few others would agree with me.
For the same price, would you rather have a blue LED or proper cable managment, that's the way I see it, hope it helps Take a look at the pics in my sig for an indea of how it looks and how big it is

The Corsair is a better quality PSU, and would easily be my choice of the two.
