    So im planning a PSU upgrade for the future.

    I have read some reviews on the Corsair HX series and also Coolermaster Silent pro Gold series. Both seem like pretty awesome PSUs only major differences I have read is rippling is lower with Corsair.

    At this moment the Coolermaster Silent Pro Gold 1000W goes for $229AUD, and the HX-1050 is $265AUD online prices of course.

    Anyone have any preferences between the two?

    I've been using Corsair power supplies for years and have always been happy with their performance. That's a pretty good price on the Coolermaster and both are modular, tough call.

    You may want to consider the Silverstone gold series. Its in the price range of the HX. The 1000 watt. Really good products imo.

    To make it harder, the Silverstone Strider 1000W Gold, is also $229.

    I stand by SilverStone products. Really Solid. The 12v rails even have their own capacitors to reduce ripple. Just another plus.
