Hello. I'm buying new psu because my old one is not good enough for:
Club3d Gtx550Ti 3GB DDR3
Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 Ghz
4x 1GB DDR2
My friend recommended Corsair CX430Modular for 50€ (65$), I also saw
Sharkoon SHA450Modular for 43€ (55$). Both are 80+ BRONZE and i hope you guys can help me choose between these two. Thanks. :D
Link to both PSUs:

I would like to save some money... I see that sharkoon has two 12V rails, corsair just 1. Both are 80+ BRONZE, modular and 450W. Does Corsair have better components quality? Is there any risk if I go for Sharkoon? My system draws around 350W at full load.

The Corsair is a better and more powerful unit. The number of 12v rails does not matter. The total amps produced by the 12v rails does matter.

The Sharkoon is made by Power Giga ( not a good thing ) and provides a combined 27.5 amps on the 12v rail for 330 watts.

The Corsair is made by CWT ( a pretty good company ) and provides 32 amps on the 12v rail for 384 watts.

So even though the Sharkoon is listed as a 450w power supply it is less powerful where it matters than the Corsair rated at 430 watts.
