Hi guys, I'm about to buy a new power supply - Zalman ZM600-LX
Here is my system:

It is not worth to buy at all!

This PSU cannot even keep within ATX specs. It will cause you problems. Do not cheap on a PSU. https://www.hardwareinsights.com/zalman-zm600-lx-power-supply-review/7/

I suggest the EVGA b3. It is a very good unit, for an affordable price. Otherwise the Corsair CX450m is a good option.

Also, never choose purely by brand, as that tells basically nothing about the specific psu's quality and performance.

That PSU is mediocre and usually overpriced. The CX450m/CX550M are different. Where exactly are you buying from? What other options are available to you?
