Seasonic 750w Gold - $64.99

Tue Mar 27, 2018 4:22 am

Shell Shocker, 10% Promo and $25 rebate brings this Seasonic 750w Focus (Fully Modular) Gold rated PSU down to $64.99

That is a lot of power supply for the cash. You can easily spend $50-60 on a lower powered bronze series supply for that sort of scratch. It's free shipping to, and if you are a ShopRunner member like I am, free 2nd day shipping as well.

That's the Focus Plus model, which is fully modular and includes S3FC hybrid fan control that the semi-modular Focus model lacks.

Not bad at all. I think I pay that much or more for my Seasonic 550w Gold PSU back in 2013. However I'm not sure if 750w isn't overkill for most use cases.

I wasn't sure how many people cared about the Hybrid controller, the button is on the back for anyone curious. Also worth mentioning I suppose is a 10 year warranty.

For any system build these days, 750w is pretty much a maximum need, unless you are going dual GPU or one heck of a lot of HDDs in RAID or something. 550w is my sweetspot for a medium power build, but if its "Gamer" or "Professional" I find the 750w are usually better quality and cheaper than 650w, the forgotten wattage.
