Hey i have a sufficient amount of money

and 2 power supply come in this range

Power Supply
A Corsair TX850W non modular

and

A Cooler Master Silent Pro M850 MODULAR


tell me which one is better and which one i should preffer


MY SYSTEM REQUIREMENT is

ASUS (INTEL) P6T DELUXE V2 X58-2000FSB O.C
INTEL CORE i7 930 2.8Ghz (8MB CACHE - 4.5 GT/s)
CORSAIR DOMINATOR DDR3 TRIKIT 3X6G-1600 (2GBX3)
ATI 5770 PCX 1GB (128-BITS) DDR5
CHASSIS CM 690II PLUS
SEAGATE 1000GB 3.5" HDD 7200RPM 32MB Cache
 
Both will last the same, although as a general rule modular PSU's are less efficient.

I would go the Corsair for sure, but the 850W is overkill. 650W is plenty for a 5770.

850W will enough for crossfire, although 750W would be sufficient for CF 5770

850 would give better headroom though for further future upgrades, and also would, at the ~500W that would actually be drawn, give better efficiency.

I would go corsair, however, only if you have a case with good cable management, because TX850W has a hell of alot of cables
 
If not overclocking a good 600w unit would do fine. but as always it's ncie to have upgrade room. I'd grab a 750w if you're overclocking or doing upgrades... probably overkill, yes, but it's not good to have a psu near 100% load all the time :)

For example using a PSU caculator, it said my system would need 362w under 100% load with 50% capacitor aging... but i have a 600w psu. upgrade room :)
 
a 750W quality PSU will run a power beast such as 2 x 8800GTX in SLI (much less efficient) overclocked etc etc which can drag up to 600W from the wall.

I very much doubt he'll ever be needing a more powerful psu. My whole system would draw more than his. We have same gpu etc. My system draws just over 170 - 250W from the wall.

The Corsair has my tick but would suggest this is better at half the price of the coolermaster http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005

What country?

I agree though, definately the corsair. The coolermaster silent pro M line is decent, but not as good as the corsair.
