Which power supply should i get: Raidmax RX-500AF or Corsair CX 500?

Daksithj · Apr 12, 2013

I'm building a new pc , with the following specs

Core i5 3470
Corsair vengence 8gb
1 tb WD Cavier blue HDD
Either Gtx 650 or Ati 7770

Anyway should i get the RAIDMAX RX-500AF or Corsair Cx 500 , in my country the CX 500 is about 50$ more than the Raidmax. Is the Raidmax enough?

Either will do but seesms like getting the one more affordable is ok.
But out of two I would get Corsair Cx500 personaly. Thanks

Daksithj :

Raidmax has a poor reputation for PSU's, def go with Corsair.
Plz review this link - shows Raidmax as tier 5 brand (the worst)

"Tier 5 - Other than the units listed above for any of these brands, NOT RECOMMENDED. Replace ASAP if you have one."

Any other PSU that you can buy in your country ?

If no definetly the CX 500W. PSU is a crucial factor when building a system. IT can fry all of your components :/

Good Luck !

Never buy a Raidmax psu.

So I better pay 50$ extra and get the CX 500 just to be sure right?

wanderer11 · Apr 12, 2013

Yes. That raidmax will fail at some point and possibly damage something along the way.

Yes pay the 50$ extra. They will help you not to pay 500$ for a new system
