so my ocz technology corextream 500w psu-- http://www.kitguru.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/ACC_1...

went for RMA,and shop in which i bought it said we can replace other psu and suggested some fortron 500w which has lower dual 12v rail then my previous,i think i have right to choose from similar price psu's to atleast match my previous psu performace and here's some few i think i can choose from --

http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/thunder-series/... not sure if 500w version of 600w unclear info in the shop i need to choose from ,141LTL

http://www.deepcool.com/product/powersupply/da/2014-02/... 155LTL

http://www.aerocool.com.tw/index.ph...-power-supply/kca... 147LTL

but shop asked if this one will be ok for replacement
Fortron FSP500-60APN 500W 85+ (80PLUS BRONZE which has dual 12v rail of 2x 18a and my broken corextream had 25v + 20v dual rail,would be unfair to replace with weaker one.... not sure if they would offer me much more expensive for replecement but my corextream price was about 132LTL and i need to choose from this selection http://www.skytech.lt/kompiuteriu-k...s(),g(),p(559),k(44.99,1369.00)&frag=&fragd=0

i think i stated clear that i need to choose psu with similar price like my old one was,stop replying automaticly and suggesting corsair,i must choose from few ones which are similar in price from this shop http://www.skytech.lt/kompiuteriu-komponentai-maitinimo...(),g(),p(559),k(44.99,169.00)&frag=&fragd=0&pav=2&sort=5a&sand=0%20sf-with-ul&grp=0%20sf-with-ul&pagesize=100&page=1 and i accidentally voted up for your usless reply... was trying to vote down..:)  and he deleted his comment..

Well That coolermaster is garbage and so is the aerocool, The deep cool is a little better but not by much and still not one i'd recommend. There are not any decent 500w+ psus for 132 on that site. The only decent 500w units i could find were around 200.

See if the store will just let you pay the difference it cost.

well i highly doubt the shop will be willing to replace into much more expensive one,i am lucky if they send me that deepcool ,it looks best from that range of price... and i am out of cash now,well my previous psu was barely enaugh for my rig so most important is to have psu not less powerfull,and i am not sure if single 38a rail is better than duoble 12v 24a+20a ..... confused

and what you mean cooler master is garbage,by longlivity and quality ? if its 600w version i think it has 47a single 12v rail which would be even better then my previous psu with double 20a +25a ,well i dont hope it to be very long lasting,performance is my main point in here

The 24a and 20a 12v rails are only capable of 444w combined, and a single 38a 12v rail should be capable of 456w, but given the units lower quality I wouldn't trust it to deliver it's rated wattage. If you end up with the deep cool I wouldn't use it as permanent replacement try to replace it with a better unit asap. Lower quality units like the 3 you listed tend to take other hardware with them when they die.

i really doubt a psu will damage other hardware never happened in my life,they all have all sorts of circuit protections and i see no reason why it would be possable as i dont run 100% loads constantly in my psu and other components,also it has warranty and i allways have momentary psu replacemt i just need to choose,also waiting for shop response about this deal

Quality wise they are junk, poor quality = poor longevity.Either one of those 3 PSUs has the possibility of frying the whole system. When it comes to power supplies skimping on quality is a dangerous gamble.

I see it all the time. The cheaper units skimp on the protection circuits and even sometimes completely leave them out.

the shop is not willing to offer any more expensice psu then my previous one was,and i need to pay extra .... not just that they cant offer me a same performance level psu for replacement but when i choose one i need to pay extra.... also i had bought custom fan for that broken psu and its gone ,they wont pay me for it cuz they said its my fault i left that fan in psu when i send it to them for repair....

so i have mroe options now but my budget is very limited how about theese options

Given the choice of those 4 I would go with the FSP hyper, corasair 2nd and the fsp600 50arn 3rd.I wouldn't waste money on the lepa given its specs.

so you think fps hyper 600 has better performance then that corsair ? well fps has 2x30a 12v rail and corsair single 41a,how about hyper 500w version 2x25a 12v rail,my previous one was 25a +20a 12v rail,should be enaugh ? or is it worth pay extra for 600w version ? also in on hyper psu box it says 5 year warranty but in my shop shows 2 year

my ol rig
core 2 quad q6700 oc to 3~ghz +
2x 2gb ddr3 1333mhz ram
gts 250 twin frozr also ocing it about +100mhz
lots of fans with 2x molex fan splitters (1 molex fan splitter has 5v,7v,and 12v) mostly all used
msi g41 basic mobo
