and it depends on your electricity price.
Also if better efficiency - less heat

I think it is better win less money on flypool...

Some quick calculations, tried to keep it simple so no efficiency curves etc.
750W load - 88% PSU - 852W at wall
750W load - 90% PSU - 833W at wall
750W load - 92% PSU - 815W at wall
750W load - 94% PSU - 798W at wall
Conclusion:
If the price difference is only 20-40€ go platinum.

I have rather low knowledge about electricity and PSU so I'd ask here 
If I run 6 GPU's which draw 750 watts from wall using gold standard PSU, will the draw get lower if I install platinum PSU ? If so should the difference be good enough to justify 25-40 euro higher PSU price?
