I would not use either of those doorstops. Looking at Amazon.in, the least expensive PSU I'd let even touch a PC I own would be the Antec VP-500 at INR 3,349. While that Antec series is entry-level, I'd at least be comfortable with it not frying my parts.

how about Corsair vs550w psu?

Both PSUs are entry-level, but the Antec uses capacitors that are a bit more dependable.

As far as the Antex using better capacitors I wouldn't really be so sure about that.

Did I miss a refresh like the CX? The Antec's blend of Capxon and Teapo is hardly inspiring, but last I checked, those Corsairs were liberally using JunFus.

Just talking the minimum PSU here - I wouldn't personally put either in anything I build.

Oh... you might be right about that. But I think the VS has actually been revised, but whatever it's hard to the I have trouble even finding a review of the VS, though.

Yeah, I can't remember the last time I saw a review of them, so who knows what platform changes there have been. Probably a combination of not being for 120V areas and Corsair's likely lack of enthusiasm to push their lowest-ranking PSU for reviews.

If it helps for future reference, the Corsair VSs are on the same GPM platform from CWT as the Thermaltake Smart SEs and a whole bunch of Chieftecs.
