Hey all,
What PSU should I get?
It would need to be under $60 USD and have at least 430 watts.
I have looked t both the EVGA 500B and the Corsair CX 500.
I have heard the CX PSUs are not very good though.
I have done the math and I do not need any more the 500 watts.
Anything under 400 watts is out of the question.
If you know of any cheaper Seasonics tell me!
Thanks..

Dang that's a pretty good deal on the Thermaltake. Not quite as good as the XFX, but still a good power supply, especially for $50 lol

The XFX is certainly better, and if you can get a few more dollars I would definitely recommend it over the Thermaltake.

Your gut is right on Thermaltake, their other power supplies, especially the TR2 series, are poorly made and use cheap capacitors. The SMART series, however, is a much better built power supply, and is high enough quality I don't feel reserved recommending it to anyone.

At the end of the day, for your needs, either will do you just fine :)

Ok, If I get more money I'm going to look into the XFX.
