Are corsair CX series good?

SidTheSloth · Feb 2, 2014

Will it be good for this build http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/SidTheSloth/saved/3b7R?

Roxas_Boy · Feb 2, 2014

Yes but I recommend an XFX 550watt Core Edition instead

Scremin34Egl · Feb 2, 2014

For the same price, this would be better

Good but you get more value for the money with the xfx 550w. It has better components than the CX.

The CX series is bottom line from Corsair, some cheaper parts where use to build it, such as caps(really bad ones).
You can get the TX series instead, or something more like XFX, Antec PSUs

SidTheSloth · Feb 2, 2014

But won't it be harder to build with the XFX one? but will the XFX one be more reliable?

juanjostorreshernndez · Feb 2, 2014

SidTheSloth :

The XFXs are made by SEASONIC, the best of the best, with more than 37 years of experience. They use high quality components, very reliable and highly recommended.
They are at tier-1~2 PSU brand list.

Okay, but will building with a non mouldar psu make it a lot harder?

juanjostorreshernndez · Feb 2, 2014

SidTheSloth :

You can get the XFX XXX edition, its semi-modular, really confortable when building a system.
I am using a XFX XXX 750W PSU for some time, very powerfull and reliable.

SidTheSloth :

And to add with my fellow posters, I would say CX 500W PSU is not compatible with HASWELL CPU. Go with the XFX 550W PSU like everybody suggested.

SidTheSloth · Feb 2, 2014

Okay thanks, it saved me two punds as well
