swt oscar don't you get tired of offering those pos parts like the 8800 gts from leadtek or the crappy made in taiwan excelstor? anyway the psu is fine joe, even if he wanted a lower end one, the corsair 520w is better and cost less than that seasonic one

Why does he need a 700w PSU?
 
hmm no PM oh well/threadjack

@Chupacabra
I've heard two things, to do as you say get a 700w psu and you KNOW it's enough, and that all you need for even the scariest of machines (servers not included) is about 400w. What gives? Or is it all just personal openion?

The OCZ is the same price as the Seasonic - after mail in rebate. Why would anyone pay the same price for -200W and a more inferior brand?

Lots of room for future upgrades, and not small jumps to keep the PSU from going over. This provides longer upgrade times, and you don't need to keep on buying another new PSU due to upgrades. Clear enough?
