normally i would choose the first one hands down. an extra 100W 80 PLUS Gold over Bronze, $20 more, but the second PSU combos with my case and i end up saving $50. (which is very good since im on a budget) is it worth that $50 to split the combo and get the better PSU? do i even need the extra 100W. will i even notice a difference (in electric bills) between Gold and Bronze? is there that much a difference between the two besides the stuff mentioned i should consider?

 

thanks all

Depends on what components/connections you are using and if you plan to have some wiggle room to upgrade later.

486W was their estimate. with that i think im gunna go with the save $50 route and go witht he 750W. that should hold me over even if i decide to upgrade and i doubt ill notice i a difference between Bronze and Gold anyways. thanks!
