Hi, I was wondering what would be the best power supply for my needs, and what is better in general, the Antec HCG-520W (link) Non-Modular or the Antec TP-550C Non-Modular (link)? I will use it to power:

Intel i5 2400 3.1ghz
Zotac gtx 660ti
8gb ram
120gb Samsung 840 ssd
1.5tb WD Green hdd


Choosing one from either of these two choices, so please don't recommend others. Thanks :)

The HCG-520W has been discontinued so not sure you can get it, so the true power it is. I know you asked for no other recommendations but I feel compelled to suggest the xfx core 550W, made by seasonic, rock solid and decent price.

It's a toss up. Both are Seasonic oem. The HCG is rated up to 50C. The tp is rated gold efficiency and have more wattage on the 12v rails but at 40C. If they are close in price I'll buy the TP, but if the HGC is less by $20 to 30 I'll buy it.

Hi thanks for the reply. Where I live it is readily available, I just linked both to Newegg for specification and info purposes. There is a reason why there's only these two choices, but long story short, I can only choose from these two, but thanks for the recommendation.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. I'm just having a quick read through the power supply guide sticky right now, but I think I'm leaning towards the TP-550C.
