I am trying to decide between the Antec NeoPower 480w and the Fortron BlueStorm 500w. I was originally planning on going with the NeoPower due to MaximumPC giving it a great review and a 10 Kick A** rating in the Jan. issue . But then I saw lots of people here reccomending the BlueStorm which I'd never seen until now .
I don't care about looks, modular or sleeved cables, or which is noisier. I just want your opinions on which is better in PERFORMANCE. The other things are just bonuses to me. These are both in the same price range so that doesn't matter to me either. I want to leave room for future upgrades I might do such as SLI and watercooling so take that into account too.
I'm upgrading to this and yes I plan on overclocking ......
AMD64 Winchester 3200
DFI nF4 Ultra-D
nVidia 6800 GT (either a evga or BFG)
2x512MB Corsair Ballistix
Thanks in advance for the help
