Hello,

Guys i need help to decide which PSU i should buy, here's the PSU :

Corsair : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006

or

Seasonic : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151107

these two PSU cost the same in my country and now i need help deciding which one is better.

I'm really blind about this PSU thing, so please if you can keep it simple.

Thanks.

I think they both perform about the same.. but the seasonic is modular, it can save lots of space inside the case

-------------------------

Agreed...  they are both probably the same internally (AFIK the Corsair is just a rebranded Seasonic) so you might as well go with the one that has more features...  and Modular is a nice feature

The MONSTER HTPC:

CPU: AMD FX-8350.||.Cooler: Corsair H80i
MB: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD7.||.RAM: 8 GB Mushkin Blackline DDR3 2000MHz (7-10-8-27-1T)
Case: CoolerMaster HAF 932.||.PSU: Corsair HX750
GPU:HIS IceQ 5 Radeon HD 5770 Turbo 1GB.||.Audio: Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro w/ Logitech Z-5300e (5.1, 280W-RMS)
Drive: 2xMushkin Chronos 60GB RAID0.||.Storage: 6TB (4x500GB Caviar Black RAID0, 2TB Hitachi & 2TB Caviar Green)

3rd vote for modular. My PSU's box has a gaggle of unused wires that didn't need to be stuffed into some hiding spot inside the case.

4th vote for modular. Good quality power supplies like SeaSonic will have a standardized plug on the PSU end so if you, say, need 3 SATA cables worth of plugs and 0 molex, you can do that. SeaSonic makes Corsair units (except the HX1000), and uses almost the exact same design as the SeaSonic M12D units (instead of the more modern X series). But for the same price, go with modular.
