The best unit you have listed is the Rosewill Capstone. Raidmax is junk that should not be in the list at all. The Corsair CX line are budget units. The Capstone is rated at 50c and 80 Plus Gold certified. Great little unit.

Thanks for the fast replies.
So is the Rosewill Capstone currently the best PSU that can be bought in that price range? Also would 550W allow me to overclock if I were to?

Dark Lord of Tech · Nov 25, 2013

The Capstone 550 and the XFX 550w are the 2 best values as of now.It changes all the time.

Deleted member 217926 · Nov 25, 2013

Yep the best deals change all the time. That Rosewill is extremely solid for that price. I have not seen an 80 Plus Gold unit that cheap in quite a while.

It should be plenty of power for your listed setup even with overclocking.

I just purchased a Capstone for myself and I grabbed a cheap antivirus download while i was on the site.

That's a great deal on the Kaspersky. I just saw a 3 user deal for free but you had to deal with a $50 mail in rebate.

My other AV was running out next month so I grabbed one.

Thanks for your help! I'm gonna grab the Rosewill now!
