The Antec High Current Gamer 900W fixed-cable power supply retails just shy of £100 and is designed to offer lots of juice on the all-important 12V line. Build quality is good, cables nice and long, and it delivers solid, if not outstanding, performance across a range of taxing tests. Inside, the HCG users a smattering of big-brand components that are well-placed over a large PCB, but just be sure to check if the 180mm depth fits fine in the chassis of your choosing. We´d be happy to use one if running CPU- or GPU-intensive tasks, though we´d suggest jumping up to a capacity high enough to ensure that the supply isn´t running at over 75 per cent of available power, thereby keeping the 135mm ADDA fan in check. Antec, then, has made sensible compromises in putting out a sub-£100 PSU. The perfectionist in us wants to see individual PCIe cables, higher ambient temperature rating, and a metal-oxide varistor present, but if we had everything at this price, what need would there be for higher-specified models? Bottom line: a good-quality power supply that pumps out stable voltages without fuss.
