Which PSU should i choose?

[ltharis]

So theres a list of power supplies which are available at my place and i can afford:

Aerocool STRIKE-X 500W
Aerocool VP-650 650W
Cooler Master GX-series 450W
Corsair CXV2 500W
Gigabyte Superb E570 570W
OCZ ZS series 550W
Thermaltake Smart PSU 450W

The prices are pretty same.
I dont really care about the Watts, because i think that 450W is enough for my PC.

Corsair CXV2

 

[TheBigTroll]

they all suck or sub par including corsair

get a xfx 550w or 450w. made by seasonic and can acutally supply as much wattage as it says on the label

 

[ltharis]

theres no xfx products available here

 

[TheBigTroll]

[TheBigTroll]

do you have a antec HCG 520w?

 

[ltharis]

620W only. 520's are sold out and theres no clue when theyre going to get more of em.

 

[TheBigTroll]

it probably doesnt hurt to have the little extra wattage

 

[ltharis]

Well it costs 50% more than any of those i was planning to buy, so im not sure if i can afford that

 

[TheBigTroll]

well its better than buying low quality products and having them fail on you

 

[Z1NONLY]

they all suck or sub par including corsair

Ummmm....No. (Unless by "suck or sub par" you mean "outstanding product". In which case both your and Hardwaresecrets.com both agree.)

[TheBigTroll]

it still cant supply the stated wattage. i usually consider it sub par

 

[ltharis]

What about Corsair TX650 650W or Corsair GS600 600W?

 

[TheBigTroll]

the tx is good. the GS is ok but both are better than the cx

 

[Z1NONLY]

it still cant supply the stated wattage. i usually consider it sub par

That test was for the CX430 and it delivered 428.4 watts?

There are better power supplies but they cost more. If the OP is on a budget, 500w version is a good choice.

Hi Itharis - agree with BigTroll on Aerocool, Coolermaster, & Thermaltake as they have multiple models on
johnnylucky.org Lemon list (disagree that Corsair sucks). I agree with ZINONLY that in your situation
with availability Corsair is a good choice, it's actually a good choice regardless of availability.
