CONCLUSION

   Seasonic doesn’t need any introductions, their power supply units have been top notch for pretty much as far back as I can remember and well, so has their reputation. So, I had no doubt in my mind that the FOCUS GX-850 would live up to my expectations and yes, it did. Both rail stability and build quality are very good and as for noise levels although quite high when the Hong Hua fan nears 2000RPM again I seriously doubt someone would get an 850W model to continuously draw close to 800W (still it is what it is). Availability in both black and white colors may not be a game changer (not many have white systems after all) but it’s always good to have as many colors as possible (one day I hope other colors like red make it to the mix).

   Currently retailing for USD168.21 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 159.90Euros inside the USA (Amazon.de) the FOCUS GX-850 ATX 3.0 (V3) power supply unit by Seasonic is priced well. Granted the FOCUS GX-850 ATX 3.0 unit is not Seasonic’s best but thanks to its performance, size and available features it’s still worth a spot in your system and for that it gets the Golden Award.
