New gaming desktop - advice please

Hi all, hope weekends were good all round.

They've confirmed to me it would either be a Corsair or Antec (are Antec's any good?)

The motherboard would be a B3 revision version so no issues there.

I guess that's probably all, except that it's a little pricey! But not much I can do about that without reducing the specs :)
 
Antec are ok, personally i'd push for a Corsair PSU, but thats just me. :)

It all sounds good Kharzan. :thumb:
 
Thanks! Will be placing the order tomorrow methinks, just a final bit of haggling then I'm good to go.

Cheers for all the help!
 
Everything's great until it fails.

In the last twelve years I've had three Antec PSU's fail on me.

Up to this moment I have never had a Corsair PSU fail on me.

Never had a Jeantech PSU fail on me either which is surprising as PC World sell Jeantech PSU's.

I have also read that Seasonic (read: good) make not only some Corsair PSU's but these days also make some Antec PSU's.

Which makes things all the more confusing.

Golden rule with PSU's: If it's cheap, it's crap, simple.
 
Well I've requested that a Corsair PSU is put in there, rather than whatever they have in stock at that time. So hopefully that should mitigate the issue, especially since my last PSU, which I discovered was an Enermax (not sure if they still exist, it was 5 years ago), failed after 4 years.
