FSP aurum 400w vs cx430. worth the extra $?

[miatchapalooza]

Hey guys

I have a choice between these two PSUs. The FSP is slightly more expensive (~USD25) but if it's worth it, ill get it.


the build:

i3-2100
asus p8h67-m-le
4gb 1333 ram
1x optical drive
1x 1tb hdd
1x 40gb ssd
Antec 300 case

No upgrades planned either.

The VX450 is also available but I'm thinking that's overkill?

I havent used any of them so i cant comment
However among enthuast the Johnnyguru award is a high honor when it comes to psu testing.

thanks. theres not much around about the aurum though. this is 80+ gold. so it must be good?

Get the CX400 as its a better quality unit than the CX430 if you can.

If you can afford the VX450 then that would be my choice by a long way, its quality.
