Im looking for a psu for the pc im going to put in my bedroom for movie watching and light gaming when not on my main pc.

Specs:
Phenom II x2 555 @3.2ghz
MSI 890fxa-gd65
HIS 5770
4gb ddr3 1333
CM V6 GT
some crappy old reused case atm

At the moment the Corsair cx430m with promo and shipping is $43 and is the modular one, and the evga one is $45 after promo and shipping. Im not too sure on the evga one but read some reviews from techpowerup and some other ones that says its good for a under $50 psu, the modularity isnt a huge selling point but is nice. So really asking what one would be best for quality to i get the most out of my $45 lol

Will be overclocking when gaming

The modular CX-430M would be a decent choice. It may be even cheaper, but avoid the non-modular CX-430, because it was built with some inferior Samxon capacitors that don't like heat and are known for early failure.

They will both run your build , but I would go for the extra power , but if you want better cable management go for the 430M.

Decided that with a smaller case with only an exhaust fan the modular cables would be nice so went with the cx430m
