Hi guys. Which is better?

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4558896&Sku=U12-40504

OR

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207003

Is a FULL modular PSU the best way to go? Your input will be appreciated. Thanks!

I'd get this one instead, but out of those two, I'd get the XFX one 'cause its certified at a higher level of efficiency.

I don't know, I hadn't heard of them until like two days ago.

tbh, I've seen them in youtube videos, but don't know anyone that uses them. I've not heard anything bad about them, so I just assume they're not bad.

The XFX is almost certainly the better of the two. Here's a review of it. I don't know of a review for that specific Ultra PSU, but similar units in the past have rated rather poorly.

Good choice, XFX is a reputable brand.
