Im going to upgrade my psu. My spec is :
Intel i5 4690 3,5Ghz
Msi gtx 950
2x4gb ram ddr4

Ive checked on msi psu calculator it said i need 523watt

Which on of those psus is the best for me?

Going cheap on the PSU is a very bad idea. In the long run a cheap PSU will end up costing you more, they tend to die early and have the potential to damage other components and can even take out entire systems. Seen tr2s kill rigs before and sadly it's the best of the 2 specs wise. Try to find a Seasonic, even their lower quality psus are better than those thermaltakes and they are available just about everywhere.

Both are low quality and I wouldn't use either. You be better off with a high quality 450w unit. Not sure which calcualtor you where using but there isd no way that system(with the specs you posted) will use 523w. My system doesn't even use that much and I have an overlclocked i7 and a 980ti.

For the ram memory i mean ddr3. Ddr 4 only works for i7 right?
So where to check psu watt requirement? I thought MSI psu calculator is the most accurate.

The new Skylake based cpus(pentium, i3, i5, and i7) support DDR4. I have found most psu calculators tend to grossly overestimate power usage, which i guess is better than underestimating. A good quality 430w PSU would easily power that rig, the GTX 950 doesn't use alot of power. Where are you located? I might be able to suggest some.
