Here's what I need

600W PSU
$80 Budget
80 Plus Bronze or Gold
Modular
Good Brand
Good Warranty
Very Quiet
Good OEM (Seasonic etc.)

And I need it at the Microcenter in Brentwood.

It looks like you've already narrowed it down to 2 or 3.....I have no idea what's in stok in Brentwood tho.

What are the components in your system? I don't see any units that fit all of your specifications at Microcenter.

Thanks Blackbird, but everyone is complaining it's loud and that's one of my most important things (Sorry for not emphasizing that) And Here is my system (I probably don't need 600W but I want to keep it for upgrades and longevity.)

Also the $80 Budget is after rebates and not including tax.

Silent, Efficient Cooling The ultra-quiet 120mm fan delivers excellent airflow at an exceptionally low noise level by varying fan speed in response to internal temperature.

You Yourself are a huge Seasonic backer, would buying this PSU still be good considering it's not made by Seasonic (Component Wise)

It's the best of the CX600 series , the M Series is a higher quality unit.I wouldn't buy the CX Series unless it's of the M variety.

I just installed a CX500M in an Optiplex 960 3 days ago for a friend at work.

It's semi-modular so it keeps the cable management , nice and clean.

Are Either of these good and Very Quiet?

The EVGA Supernova is a top quality and quiet unit made by one of the best FSP , if you can stretch your budget it's well worth it!

The Supernova is the best of the bunch!!!!!!!
