Verdict
Antec Signature 1300 Platinum
8.8 / 10 Expert Rating
A best-in-class 1300W Platinum-rated ATX unit for a workstation or multi-GPU build with serious headroom, held back only by its premium price.
XPG Pylon 650W
6.5 / 10 Expert Rating
An unremarkable but functional budget Bronze unit, worth it mainly for XPG ecosystem consistency.
