Affordable 600w psu

[radennstaff]

I'm still helping my cousin upgrading his pc. We're down to the psu choices. And im wondering which 600w psu is better. My choice is:
1. Corsair cx650m (the new one with yellow box) ($88)
2. Seasonic m12ii-620 evo edition ($84)
3. Seasonic s12g 650w 80gold ($95)
4. Superflower silver green 600w ($78)
5. Any better recommendation?

The budget is about $80-$100

Note: his last psu is some random bs psu called venomrx madara ice and fire, not even on any psu tier list lol, he is lucky it lasted 3 years

Can you post whole rig pls? You may not need 600W PSU. Among the 4, CX650M is best with new design, Seasonic are solid but lack some protection and old design. Not sure about silver green, gold green is pretty good. If 600+ is needed, I recommend:

Damn accidentaly pushed vote down, wanted to vote up T.T better not ask question when in class next time T_T

Found a seasonic g550 for $85, if 550w is all i need i think i'll go with that

Your build max draw is 100+150+50<300. Any 400+ good quality can handle.
Budget choice, first is best among the three:
Corsair CX 550M
Seasonic M12II 520
Seasonic S12II 520

 

[radennstaff]

Is 550w enough for overclock 6600k? My cousin have 6600k and good cooler but never touched bios

 

[vapour]

yes, 550 is more than enough

 

[radennstaff]

Okay, cx550m is $70 in my place, if it's as good, then we'll take that one and maybe get a better looking gpu than what we currently choose with the remaining money

Cool, enjoy.
