Hi guys,
So I have a dilemma that I was hoping someone could help me with. I just recently ordered the parts to build my very first computer. Unfortunately the PSU I had wanted to buy was out of stock everywhere. So I simply selected a similar one at a similar price point. Noob mistake I know. In my haste, I didn't do much looking into this alternate PSU simply because it seemed like it had solid reviews. Today, after already having ordered the components, I went back to see what kind of PSU I was getting. Turns out its bad, really bad. Supposedly this manufacturer has a bad reputation and this model is prone to exploding. I'm not sure if this means actual explosion shrapnel and all, or just some smoke, sparks, and a dead unit. Either way this isn't going to work as I have small children running around the house, and I don't want to risk an incident. The following is my part list and I'd like a power unit from a reputable manufacturer, preferably over 500w and if possible one that I could run to the store and pick up from my local tiger direct or microcenter stores when the other components arrive.

Some possible replacements I'm considering are.
eXtreme Power Plus 500 Watt ATX 12V Power Supply
TR2 Series 600 Watt ATX Power Supply
Corsair CX500 V2 CX Series
Would any of these be compatible with my build?
Also if anyone is familiar with the return policy of newegg could you please enlighten me. I've read the policy but I want to make sure I'm not missing any fine print. If I were to return the unwanted PSU would I be able to get my money back in full.
Much thanks to anyone who can help me.
