alright, first off, for me, neither of these PSU's are more expensive than the other, so DO NOT figure price into the equation - price doesn't matter
right now i'm stuck between the OCZ Powersttream 600w and PC Power & Cooling 510 Express to power my next rig (P3MI Rev. C1)
i know both of these will power my rig just fine - but i need to know which one to get
i know that the OCZ has dual 12v rails, which is an ATX 2.0 requirement, whereas the PC P&C does not
both of them have adjustable voltage pots (12v, 5v, 3.3v)
but the PC P&C has active PFC and +/- 1% voltage regulation - the OCZ still has stabe rails, but not active PFC
i've done my research on them and both of them weigh out to about the same in my eyes
right now i'm leaing towards the OCZ Powerstream 600w mainly because of the dual 12v rail, which will definitely help because i'm going to be using a 24-pin (ATX 2.0) motherboard with it
and also, don't whine about the LED fans in the OCZ, i know, and i don't care - just tell me what you think is the best overall PSU, and why (price doesn't matter!)
Thank you in advance
