    Default 750AX or 850AX PSU

    I am upgrading to Corsairs latest and greatest. Problem is I cant decide between the AX850w or the AX750w. I have a 10% off promo code and the price difference between the two works out to be about J$1750 not a whole lot but could definitely help to pay for shipping apart form the obvious 100w power difference the only other difference is that the 850w sports a 70A 12V rail, while the 750 makes do with 62A. They are other wise identical.

    Which would you recommend?

    EDIT: Am using a single gpu setup now but this psu will no doubt be used in a xfire or sli setup later on.
