Hey guys,
So I am on a budget and wanted a good PC so obviously I am getting used.

My specs are an i5-3570 processor and an r9-270x graphics card.

Now for this I can either get like very old tier-2 PSU like the antec neo HE or trio,
or I can get a slightly old (~1 year used) tier 3 PSU like Corsair VS series.

Dont live in the US so there aren't many options.

Going to get a 550W PSU to be on the safe side because since it will be used, it may provide less than the rated power

Which would be the 'better' option.

Thanks in advance
