The GX 550w

[xaos24]

Hi guys, just wanted to buy the CoolerMaster GX 550w to replace my old PSU which shows signs of aging already. Definitely would buy this because its the cheapest around and also did thorough research about this psu and found out that the older model receives mostly negative feedbacks. The RS-550-ACAA-D3 however receives oppositely, luckily the shop offers the same model, so my question is, is this a go or no go?

It's a low end PSU. Not really recommended as it's made by seveteem.

Everything in the GX line up can be considered low end.

Well actually the one I was referring to was made by Enhance Electronics, the RS-550-ACAA-D3 model, which they say it was better compared to the model that was made by seventeam.

the bronze rated enhance electronics ones are slightly better than the one by seventeam, but are still not that great compared to other psus at the same price point, at least in the US

Okay, guess I'll have to change it, how about this one http://www.antec.com/product.php?id=2458&fid=339 just about $25 - $30 more. What's your take on this one?
