PSU : Corsair VS650 vs Cooler Master Thunder M 620W

[Xtian1911]

People say that VS650 is an entry lvl PSU so how can I know if a PSU is entry lvl and how many watts does it really give?

So I was thinking to get a modular one almost the same price range. Itll save me trouble of routing unwanted cables.

Please discuss

First off (my opinion) Cool master psu's are junk. Stay with one of these brands:
Corsair
Rosewill
Seasonic
XFX

Next what is your budget for a psu?

It is semi-modular, modular psu's are really expensive ($100.00+) for a decent reliable one. This is a pretty good deal.

Im from the Philippines and for a 3rd world country its hard for me to keep extending my budget for the parts. The PSU I chose only costs around $50.

The Cooler Master PSU costs $5 more and is modular but less 30watts. I know the fact that label doesnt really totally give the exact wattage thats why I'm asking this to you guys. A friend of mine calculated the Corsair VS650 says itll out approx 600-620w. I dont know about this new one and if it is worth the trouble

Yes, but what i am saying is that if you go with anything besides the following:
Corsair
XFX
Seasonic

Reason being is that you don't want to damage your components you spend so much money on. I read an article that someone bought a generic or cheaper brand psu (Cool Master) and it started their pc on fire, fired everything, all to a faulty wire. The choice is yours but that's just my recommendation. Look at this one:
