i want to buy a 600w psu because im upgrading my pc for hardcore gaming needs.is it ok for my pc if i use a local company psu or should i use a branded psu like a coolermaster or corsair.what happens if i use a local company psu?

it depends on what you are calling "local company". I would recommend going with a known, reputable manufacturer like Antec, Seasonic, Corsair or XFX.

dont ever use generic/local PSU. as they use low quality material. i read an article where a generic PSU caught fire due to load and burned it self and the PC up. and also people say coolermaster PSU's are also crappy so id say use antec seasonic and XFX psu's

mohit2545 · May 18, 2013

thanks guys.can i go for corsair?

thasan1 :

Well. Every single company has low/medium end PSUs (except for seasonic and companies that doesn't offer cheap PSUs lol)

The Corsair CX series is pretty average.... so is the lower end Antec ones...

Pretty much just choose from corsair (the ones made by seasonic) , antec, seasonic, power pc and cooling, xfx (made by seasonic) and a couple other brands....

Coolermaster GX series is below average... just don't try to push it to the extremes.

^ These guys are correct. You can trust Corsair, Seasonic, PC Power and Cooling, XFX, Silverstone, Enermax, OCZ, Antec and the higher efficiency Rosewill units. Avoid Coolermaster and Thermaltake.

is this psu good?

Deleted member 217926 · May 18, 2013

The VS is better than a "local" brand but as dirtyferret said the CX is a better choice.

mohit2545 :

I have no idea... it's a VS series...

Well. it's by the same people who made their CX series so it's just a pretty average reliable PSU.

killerhurtalot · May 18, 2013

dirtyferret :

They don't got CX series in Asia mostly since it's more costly to make a PSU that supports 100-240V input... it's mostly VS/VX series made for the region. (since it ONLY takes 200-240v input)
And the VS is also cheaper lol. just no bronze certification.

What's the specs of your computer?

mohit2545 · May 18, 2013

I'm pretty sure if you're that worried on the price, a VS 550 would be plenty unless you got a SLI/CFX set-up going and overclocking the SLI/CFX set-up...

Corsair VS350 PSU

This will be more than enough.

what is SLI/CFX?i dont do overclocking at all.

mohit2545 · May 18, 2013

They use a overclocked i5-2500k (TDP of 95w just like the FX 6300) and maxes out at 124w... so your system won't need much more than that.

The VS350 has a 12V@25A which is more than enough to power your system.

thanks for the help everyone
