Corsair CMPSU-850TX 850-Watt TX Series 80 Plus Certified Power Supply
Why it's best:
Corsair, with their rock-solid build quality and great reputation amongst computer enthusiasts, has been long-known for their great power supplies. Their latest iteration, the CMPSU-850TX is an 850W power supply geared towards SLI and Crossfire users whose computers demand stable power and current for the multi-GPU setups. Providing 70A across a single +12V rail, as opposed to the 41A for the CMPSU-750TX, the 850TX is sure to be able to power some of the more power-hungry computer systems out there. With 30A across the +3.3V and +5V rails, the 850TX is also ideal for powering large amounts of hard disk drives for those thinking of making a large home server, though it might be a bit overkill. Its greatest asset lies in its pricing – it’s competitively priced with many quality 750W power supplies, and is only $10 more than the Corsair’s 750TX. This puts the CMSPU-850TX within "striking range" for more headroom in the PSU department, ensuring a steady path of upgradeability for years to come.
