Hello there!
Having a tough time choosing one PSU from the one's I'll list a bit later here! I'm using the AMD FX 6300 (will OC), Sapphire 7870 2GB OC Ghz edition (will OC but not Crossfire), Cooler Master 212 EVO (will probably not use water cooling in the future) and a Gigabyte 97A-DS3P.
My current PSU is a disgrace to humanity and should be changed immediately (don't ask what it is lol)
Now, experts, which PSU is the BEST in terms of (in chronological order)
1) Least amount of noise even when under load
2) Best PURE TASTY POWER
3) Least amount of wires everywhere (I think only one PSU is modular
And finally, here are the PSUs from cheapest to most expensive
- Antec NeoECO C NEO ECO 520C 520W ATX12V 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
- SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520W 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
- XFX TS Series P1550SXXB9 550W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified Active PFC Power Supply
- SeaSonic M12II 520 Bronze 520W 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
- Rosewill CAPSTONE-550 550W 80 PLUS GOLD Power Supply
- Rosewill CAPSTONE-550-M 550W 80 PLUS GOLD Power Supply
I don't want to spend more than $70 on this unless I must, and all replies would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!

That PSU is single rail. Isn't multi rail safer? And previous comments said that SeaSonic makes the best PSUs...so leaving companies out of the equation, spec wise, would this still be a better PSU than the other ones?

Single rails present no great hazard in a decent PSU and I think their "dangers" are wayyy over exaggerated.

QUICK question: I MIGHT purchase a SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X R9 290 4GB GDDR5 TRI-X OC GPU in the future, and read that it requires a minimum of 550W, though the Sapphire website states that it requires a minimum of 750W...so...should I still purchase the Rosewill CAPSTONE-550-M 550W, OR should I purchase the SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze OR Rosewill CAPSTONE-650-M 650W instead?
The SeaSonic is worth mentioning since more people have purchased it, and I'm sure they did that for a reason lol
UPDATE: Just found out that the SeaSonic M12II 750 SS-750AM2 750W costs the same as the 620W version...?
