[ash-kachem]

which one of these would fit my build

seasonic ss-400bt http://

corsair cx430 v2 http://

antec vp450 http://

system specs :
CPU: i3-2100
mobo: ASUS P8H61-M LX
ram: corsair xms3 8gb (4*2)
hdd: 80gb wd
1tb blue wd
160gb seagate 7200.11
graphic card: radeon 7770/r7 250x or 260 (still to decide)
lg cd/dvd +rw combo drive

the corsair cx430 v2 is the max i can stretch my budget.

also is the seasonic ss-400es permanently discontinued by seasonic. If not how would that compare to these 3 psu.

I would go with the Antec VP, it got some good reviews and is the strongest. http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Antec-VP450-Power-Supply-Review/1487

The VP 450 is crafted for just three things: Quality, performance and incredible value. This entry-level solution gives you everything you need in a power supply. No twinkly lights or glittery paint jobs - just a 120 mm fan for effective and quiet cooling, dual +12V rails for amazingly stable power, and heavy-duty protection circuitry for peace of mind, no matter how demanding your system. And it comes with all the assurance of Antec's AQ2 Antec Quality 2-year limited warranty. All the features, none of the waste: For builders that are strictly business, the VP 450 is strictly power.

The antec vp450 is really tempting, but are the dual rails and extra power worth a buy. Considering the other two psu have 80+ bronze certification with 3 year warranty opposed to 2 year for antec.
Also I plan to run this setup for next 5 years atleast so I was leaning towards seasonic considering they produce really well build psu.
eXtreme Power Supply Calculator Lite gives Minimum PSU Wattage:290 W and recommend wattage of 340w at 90% CPU tdp nd system load 10% capacitor aging.
While at 100% CPU tdp nd system load 10% capacitor aging the minimum psu wattage is 327 nd recommended is 380.

They will all run your setup and the Seasonic is not a bad choice but the Antec will allow for a GPU upgrade to something like R9 270 later.
