I realize that but you can only order it on boxing day. I work that day so paying $10 extra for knowing purchase is confirmed is better.

Intel's pretty good with MIR ..yeah? $120 is a lot to gamble haha

not sure if i should get the older OCZ Z 1000w for $110 MIR or the new corsair tx850m $90 MIR

i dont need the extra power but it's more efficient (80 Plus Gold)...but probably doesn't have the same quality as the corsair-rebranded seasonic...not to mention OCZ MIR are more PITA

leaning towards the corsair as I have ME credits to burn

Seasonic X660 Gold ATX 12V 24PIN 660W Active PFC 80PLUS Gold Modular SLI Ready Power Supply - Seasonic Electronics - X-660 Gold

is this a good deal?
contemplating returning my 850w ocz just because I don't need that much power and its ocz and the $30 MIR..

the seasonic would come out $12 more if i include the MIR

80 Gold is worth way more than a few hundred watts you'll never ever use.

^i dont know the details about the MIR if it's only limited to one...but since it's pretty much half off and i was in the market for mid to high end card i would totally buy two of those for crossfire.
