Hello everyone. I don't know how to tell which power supply is of a better quality so I'm here to ask which one would be better. I've heard that the corsair VS models are worthless, but the cooler master one might be just as bad or even worse.

I'd like to know which one would be more stable, and less likely to blow up or break.

Corsair VS450:

Cooler master 400 lite:

Apparently there's a thermaltake PSU available as well:

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
Price difference is not an issue. They're both the same price locally

There are seasonic PSUs but they're really expensive. I'm aware all of these 3 are bad quality. I just want to know if they're pretty much the same or if any is slightly better quality

Seasonic M12II series is a bit better than S12II series while both should cost about the same. Reason for M12II being a bit better is because M12II is fully-modular while S12II is fully-wired and will give you headache in cable management. I know how bad cable management can be with S12II since i have S12II-520 in use in my AMD build while my Haswell build has M12II-850 EVO. Oh, my main rig, Skylake, has Seasonic PRIME 650 80+ Titanium PSU (full specs with pics in my sig).
