The CR650 provides four PCIe 6+2 pin cables, two 4+4 pin EPS, nine SATA power, and three Molex, besides the 24-pin ATX. It is backed by a 10-year warranty and is expected to be priced at USD $90.

Depending on who the OEM is does it really matter the difference between Gold and Platinum and Titanium is peanuts for actual cost and in all honesty a higher 80+ rating doesn't magically mean its a better PSU anyway.
