Title: Looking at these two Power Supplies to run 3 x 5770's, Suggestions Please.

As the title says I am looking at/comparing two power supplies to run a mining rig with 3 x 5770's.

They are both Antec:

PSU #1 http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0308909

PSU #2 http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0361181


Initially, I am leaning towards PSU #1. But would like to hear what others have to say.


Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Either will do! 5770 only uses 100w, a little more with OC! Though I would go with #2 if those were the only options!

With it's single 12v rail design the third one you're looking at is going to be the best choice, multi rail designs can be problematic for load distribution.
