BFG ES-800 VS Corsair TX850 VS Corsair TX750

[AK]Zip · 01-10-2009, 02:41 PM

I am having a really hard time deciding on a new power supply since my old OCZ gave out. Based on my needs and price I have narrowed it down to 3.

BFG ES-800 = $109.99 after $30 rebate - lifetime warranty
Corsair TX850 = $119.99 after $20 rebate - 5 year warranty (Click here for 2nd review)
Corsair TX750 = $109.99 after $20 rebate - 5 year warranty (Click here for 2nd review)

For each power supply I listed the price on NewEgg along with warranty info and a link to where the power supply was actually tested. Each has its ups and downs, but the hard part is what to choose?

Any and all suggestions are welcome as to which to choose. Just make sure to include why you chose the one you did.

Also, if you can find a lower price on any one of those please post a link!

I will be ordering on Monday so I need to make up my mind.

Thanks,
Alex

TX 750 and 850 are the same units, just different heatsinks and a few larger parts it looks like.

After looking at the heatsinks and layout of the BFG I would have issues buying it.. but it seems to work I guess.

I have a 750TX and I love it. I don't regret buying it (then price was 150$) I would buy it again.

I just went through the exact same decision with those 3 PSU's and opted for the BFG. I'm very impressed with how quiet the PSU is and with my modest rig it obviously has no problems powering everything up. My only real complaint is that the 8 pin power cable isn't long enough to run up the backside of my ginormous case and use the cable management hole in the MB tray. It's draped over the top of the video cards. I don't think you can go wrong with any of those 3.
