Hi guys i need help. Which PSU is better? Corsair CX600 or Corsair GS600? At first i wanted to buy a Corsair TX650 but it was a bit expensive. So which one of these 2 PSU's are better?
I'm purchasing a PSU for future upgrades, my current system doesn't need more than a 450 or 500W PSU. PC specs: AMD radeon HD 6850
AMD athlon II X3 445
MSI 870S C45 FX
4gb RAM
2 hard drives
DVD RW ATA

The GS600 is made to higher tolerances than the CX600.

Not worth it, don't know your location, but if in the USA
At $40 after rebate and Promo code on Newegg the CX600 makes for a decently priced budget grade psu
At $80 after rebate at Newegg the GS600 is over-priced

Fantastic deal at Performance-PCs

$66 with shipping, much better than either of the Corsairs

I'm in serbia and corsair and antec psu's aren't available here. I', going to germany in 2 days and i'm planing to buy it there. My cousin who lives there saw a GS600 for 72$ so is it worth it?

I think the GS600 is worth the extra money over the CX600.

I like it more than the TX650 because it has a LED fan :D  And the TX650 costs 87$ and is it worth more getting the TX650 over the GS600?

TX650 and GS600 are both good units. Whichever is less expensive is better.

For future upgrades i plan on getting a GeForce GTX 760 or GTX 770 (probably not gonna upgrade before they are released lol) and i'm probably not gonna go with intel because they are too expensive.
