What Corsair, Antec, and Seasonic 500-600W PSUs can you get? At what prices?

These are ones i'll even remotely consider >.>.

Corsair:

450VX = 122
400CX = $90

Antec:
Antec Neo Eco 520C 520W and the 400W version for $8 less (520W = 87)
Basiq power =$100 (500W)
Antec High Current Gamer 520W = $121
Antec EarthWatts 430D Green 430W = $99
Earthwatts 500 = 121 the other 430 W (doesnt say green) 98

Seasonic:

Theres one im not gonna buy, for over $200.

The $120 Neo Eco is the only bronzer i can see @ 520W which is high.
Idk about 430W should be nuff esp in quality PSU's, whats difference compared to buying like a 650W acbel $80 one?

My favorite mid-range PSU is the Corsair 550VX. It will power any single CPU any any single GPU video card.

The Antec Neo Eco seems to be your best bet. AT $87 it seems to offer the most power at the best price. There are probably other PSUs out there from good companies if you want to keep looking, but that eco seems to be a good deal.

Whats the difference? The no namer might have "more power", but at a huge cost. First, depending on the no name brand that might simply be a claim. Jonnyguru reviewed a 1050W PSU from Diablotek that couldn't do more then 600W. Just because it claims it can do 650W doesn't make it true. Second, even if it can output that much power that doesn't mean it will do so cleanly. There might be all kinds of spikes and lulls in the power that it will cause damage to your devices. Third, there is the matter of efficiency. Lower quality PSUs tend to do the job of converting AC electricity to DC electricity poorly. This means they need more AC to do the same job. Not only does this result in higher electric bills for you, but more heat as well. By buying a quality PSU you know you'll get the power you think you are, cleanly, and not wasting energy.
