i would recomend going witht the cx 600.
if you want to upgrade later on you can and you will get better eficiency when under load.
psus have the best eficiency at about 50-60% load.

DO you have any other options other than CX power supplies?
If not then the CX 600 would be ok.

^ the reason Suztera asks is because although it is a Corsair - the components used are not the top quality like HX or TX models. Try to find a Seasonic (XFX) they are among the best. There are other great alternatives but we need to know what your budget is and where you shop.

Any seasonic 550 or 650w will be fine for a single gpu pc build.
CX 600 has cheap caps inside them. They can fail easily under stress or heat. They not very good for gaming pcs.


550W-650W for single gpu.
750W -850W for SLI or Crossfire setups.
Brands to stick to: Antec , Coolermaster V series, Corsair( HX or AX series), EVGA SuperNova G2 series, Seasonic or XFX

yep, agree....the corsair cx series is bad....go with a Seasonix X series, EVGA Supernova...these are the preffered ones, otherwise as Seztera mentioned, most of them are likely to be good, would you happened to know exactly what psus they have?
