I have a Linovo K450e computer with Intel i5 4460 cpu and a 280W PSU!!! I want to get a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 graphics card though. So, I decided to change PSU and, through a lot of research, came down to those three.

If you actually did a lot of research, you looked in the wrong places because both of those units are horrible.

Both are Haswell ready and both are great value units. If you want to OC the 960 I recommend getting the 500B. Getting the 500B overall wouldn't be a bad idea.

Well the first one is a little small on voltage. Only the 960 requires a minimum of 400w. The second one does look great, I'll think about it. However, I posted wrong items lol (had too many windows opened - I'll edit my question with the actual choice). Which one now?

Oh, now I get it! For some reason I always looked at the minimum system requirements thinking that that applies to the graphics card. Well, then I don't need a 600w PSU at all, 450-500w will do. what about some under $50 ?

I compared another one to your offer MasterDell, which one should I go with?:

The first one you mentioned is the same PSU as the one I recommended (only mine is 100W less which doesn't change anything for a 960)

Then for the second one, amazing PSU and was just released. Fully Modular and is a really great unit. I have one in my house that I am going to be also using with a 960. (G1 Gaming)
