Hi,
No matter for warranty i would never buy used PSU. It's your oil of PC and needs to be good.

As far as quality between those two, Hardwaresecrets have made tests with cx430 (pulled out 550W) and with better cooler master GX series max they have pulled is under their rated wattage.

I think you should need to consider buying brand new PSU. For 30 and couple pounds you can probably get both of them brand new depending on where are you from

Best regards :)
