Need advice on a PSU

ITAngel · Feb 25, 2015

Okay guys Thanks!, I guess I won't bolder with it. As I can only get the rebate on the 1k and not on the 1.3k. So will will still cost me about 13 dollars more than the 1k and shipping time plus I get my refund for the overnight cost which means the 1k will turn out still cheaper about 21 dollars cheaper.

I was just wondering what you guys though since the price were very close to each others by maybe 11 dollars difference.

More like a $7 difference. The 1300kw is a G2 model at $166.99 with free shipping whereas the 1k has a G2 model at $160. I don't know what parts they used in the G1 with the $10 rebate at $150(AR), but it's possible they included higher quality capacitors or parts here or there in the G2. While I agree it's over the top for anything reasonable or ordinary, if you ever want to experiment with quad GPU setups the 1300kw seems like a decent deal. Also, the 1.3kw offers 10 year warranty over 5 year for 1kW.

What are you talking about? The 1000W G2 has a 10year just like the rest of the G2 lineup.

It's $7 more for the 1000kW G2. The OP was debating whether it's worth $7-$16 more.

Edit: (Summary)
1kW G1= $149.99 after $10 MIR
1kw G2= $156.99 after $10 MIR
1.3kw G2= $166.99 No rebate

All offer free shipping, so if it were between a $150 PSU with a 5 year warranty and a $157 PSU with a 10 year warranty (and a $166.99 PSU with a 10 warranty with 300 more watts, I might just go with the $166.99 one.)

The G2 does offer rebate.

List Price: $199.99
Price: $166.01 Free Shipping for Prime Members
You Save: $33.98 (17%)
Post-purchase rebate: $10.00 Rebate forms
Price after rebate: $156.01

Is the main reason also I went for it.

Again, it has a 10 year warranty...

You missed the complete point of my post. ALL G2 PSUs HAVE A 10 YEAR WARRANTY.

Yea like others saids, I think i will be safe if do things right I can pull 2x 290x on this machine with the 1k and the 1.3 would be overkill unless I did all of that, super clocked and water cooled I think i will be safe with the 1k for now. If the time comes and i need bigger I can move this unit to the wife rig and get the 1.3k or 1.6k version.

Thanks guys

ATMINSIDE · Feb 25, 2015

You'd be safe with the 850W and 2x 290X's...

You say it like you're on the edge with the kW unit or something...

ITAngel · Feb 25, 2015

So far the system is overclocked to 4.7Ghz and my MSI R9 290X Lightning seems to be running nice. Testing a few games with it to see how the system behaves. That EVGA power supply Supernova 1k G2 edition is quite. I don't think I haver had a quite system like this before.
