If you are not running SLI/CrossFire, this PSU will do fine and it is from a reliable manufacturer.

Power Supply: XFX 550W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($53.99 @ NCIX US)

isnt crossfire good or ocz? and u think i shud keep diablotek or ppl overreacting about diablotek is bad?

 

[cball1311]

Corsair is decent, better than OCZ and Diablotec is bad as far as reliablity. Never cheap out on the PSU. It can really screw things up if it goes bad.

i dont have sli or anything special like that. im way overbudget so trying to decide what to get corsair or fxf or ocz i need 600 w tho

 

[taran11]

and my build ia and will be i5 3570k gtx 460 asrock extereme 3 or 4 cant remember. vengeance 8 gb ram 1600 550 will be good the one you recommended cball1311?

 

[cball1311]

Most certainly. XFX is made by SeaSonic, one of the most reliable PSU brands on the market. 😀

awesome but is it enuf watts? look at my build above ur post

 

[taran11]

Yeah 550W is plenty for almost all single GPU setups. Under normal circumstances I'd totally recommend the XFX, usually do, however right now the price of Corsair PSUs on Newegg makes them really hard to ignore.

CX600 - $40 after rebates, that's an absolute steal and I'm not sure the XFX is worth $15 more.

ill go with corsair thnx

 

[cball1311]

That PSU is out of stock on newegg. Plus the XFX has more amps on the 12V rail. It is not always about wattage.

The CX600? Oo
It has a bigger 12V rail than the XFX (46A vs 44A) and it is in stock on newegg. Dunno how tricky rebates are (not in the states, and we don't really get them across here) but if you can really pick up a decent 600W PSU for $40 then its a great deal.
Regardless, either is a good choice.

i will get the corsair instead actually since the xfx does 10 dollar rebate and its 63$ im way over budget already with cpu mobo ram and i bought my gpu from newegg got my rebate

Yeah, sorry. I was looking and the 600M.
