65-75$ PSU Advice. (three candidates)

Last response: in Components
Share

Hi all! This is my first post, from reader I`ve become the writer. I'm an amateur overclocker & gamer, though I work most of my free time in other domains, like electronic music prod/master.
My 470W Thermaltake died after 1year and I didn`t do anything, didn't forced it too much, voltages & other stressful factors :( 
I have a limited budget from 65$ to 75$max and I`ve recently chosen 3 candidates:

a) OCZ Fatal1ty OCZ550FTY 550W
b) CORSAIR CMPSU-450VX 450W
c) SILVERSTONE ST50F 500W

I would recommend myself the corsair psu, but there's something to the other 2..... Even if my budget is limited, I'm looking for 2 main qualities @ a PSU:

(1) long life (quality int built)
(2) silent under no pressure.


I want all of your opinions, piece of advice - I'll be more than grateful..
Peace ;)

thanks for your answers... I think I`ll go for Corsair, though I like OCZ soooo muuuch for being modular and having 2 rails of 25Amp... (chosing Corsair will be mostly for the seasonic parts, which means quality for some long time now)

Not quite true. It has two rails, each capable of a maximum of 25 amps. That's not the same thing as two 25 amp rails. If it had two 25 amp rails, it would be at least a 600 watt PSU (50 amps X 12 volts).

redgarl - Did you read the technical review I linked to?

xbonez - It's an adequate power supply. Originally there was a problem until it was discovered that model had incorrect advertising about it's capability at high temperatures.
