It depends on which models you are looking at. Both make some really good PSUs and some not so good ones. I don't think you'll find a better deal than the $49.99 I linked above, unless you start looking at making some compromises in quality. The CX lineup from corsair for example would be a cheaper way to go, however, it is made with cheaper capacitors than the XFX I linked. But I do understand, a budget is a budget, and for those who are really tight, the corsair CX can make sense.

The 500W recommendation is for your entire system, and that is a high estimate to cover those people who buy lower end PSUs. The GPU itself only draws 138W peak (above chart).
