Corsair VS450??

Antec VP450??

COOLER MASTER SMPS B500 VER.2??

COOLER MASTER SMPS ELITE 450 VER.3??

COOLER MASTER SMPS ELITE 460 VER.2.3??

COOLER MASTER SMPS MASTERWATT LITE 230V 500W??

Not WATT wise...I just need a rating based on their builds..

Need a smps to run fx 6300, r7 260x 2gb ddr5 oc, 8 gb ram, 500gb HDD..

Currently using Corsair VS 450(1 year old) with Ati HD6670 2gb ddr3.

Limited budget...

For what reason are you upgrading your power supply. All of the listed are not good, not reliable for a gaming system, and not made to last. I couldn't find a professional review of the elite v3, though by the looks of things, the elite v2.3 seems to be the best...barely. Again, they are all not recommended. You should never cheap on a power supply as it is arguably the most important part of a system. What are the prices, who are you buying from, and are there any others?

Don't go by brand, that's a stupid idea as it tells nothing about the actual quality of the build or electrical performance. All brands have the good and bad and most don't actually make the internals.

Always go by proffessional reviews. If there are no specific proffessional reviews of the model, don't risk it.

The corsair vs and antec vp are similar quality. I will have to research a bit on the others and reply then with a better answer.

Also, which region of the world are you located in?

If you're just upgrading the gpu if i'm reading right just try the one you have otherwise as stated are none very good.

The best low budget psu you might want to get is the Seasonic S12ii 430watt or the Corsair CX450M (the new black/white series),can also look at the EVGA B3 series,the 450watt would be fine.
