600w psu upgrade?

[grrsona]

Im looking to buy a new graphic card, probably the r9 270x or the r9 280. Either way I need a new psu. I was thinking of going with a corsair 600w psu for about $65. Is that a good deal? will it help support whatever gpu I choose to buy?

I'm guessing you're referring to this Corsair PSU:

If that's the case, then I think this EVGA would be better quality, and it's ~15 cheaper after MIR:

Also, the EVGA has 49A on the +12 rail, as apposed to 46A with the corsair.

I have it and I love it

OP:

Yeah, that would be a great option, too. Missed that one, thanks Pondering. Its 550w/45A vs 600w/49A, so OP won't be losing out on much juice.

I prefer a lot of juice. I think the 600w is better for a $5 difference?
