OCZ ZX 1250 or Corsair HX 1050

[ripsaw]

Need help deciding between these two power supplies. I will be doing a 3 way SLI down the road, not sure if 580's (have one) or 3x 660ti. Will both these power supplies be sufficient? They're both the same price before rebate, OCZ is 20 cheaper after (179-30). I've heard bad things about OCZ, but cant seem to find any negative reviews on this particular PSU. Help please! Would like to order tonight/tomorrow. Thankyou.
EDIT: this will be a z77 board, maybe ROG Maximus V Extreme. I7 probably 3770K.

I would say corsair, just for peace of mind. they always seem to take care of the consumer if there are any issues

but will it run 3x 580?

They're 250W ea at stock. 750W + 120 for an OCed 3770K + 50W for the rest. Puts you at 920W. It can be done on 1050, but not much overclocking headroom.

As long as you don't touch the voltage slider, yes.
If you touch the voltage slider, no.

Look for reviews of that specific PSU. OCZ makes some very good ones and has made some very poor ones.
3x660Ti will fit easily with lots of room to spare.

Assuming you mean the ZX (as there isn't a 1250W ZT), here are reviews on the entire series:

Think this is the same platform, but uses different caps: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story5&reid=212

I think i'm going to go with the ocz, as i might get into water cooling down the road as well (overvolting).

Again, cant seem to find any negative reviews.....so 150 after rebate sounds like a good deal to me
Thanx everyone
