I need to know which one of these two power supply's is better, higher quality and performance?

(or can i find better psu then these two for same or lower price?)

Crap and crappier. Flip a coin to decide which is which.
The PSU is what you really don't want to go cheap on.

Don't buy either of those. As above, something from tier 1 or 2.
