Best 500-600 watt psu?

[PrismHelix]

Hello, I am looking to upgrade my psu (currently a cx430 and I love it) but I need more wattage for a Radeon HD 7850. What is the best 500-600 watt psu for the price? I don't want a modular, I just want a high quality psu for a low price.

thats not any better than the xfx i chose, considering seasonic makes xfx powersupplies, and the build quality of the xfx 550 is same quality as the m12

also out of his budget, as he said 70$ max

Need to address the elephant here.

If you have a CX430, you're buying a 7850, and that's going to be the only video card in your system, you don't need a new PSU.

The CX430 can handle a 7850 and still have headroom left.

i agree but the cx line of ps are poor quality, its funny most of the rest of corsair lineup is decent but the builder cx is of poor quality,

Maybe you're thinking of a different PSU. The CX430 is a great unit.

The CX430 is the go-to PSU for budget builds right now; it's the hyper 212 evo of PSU's if you will

consensus here is u dont need a new ps, even if i dont normally recommand the cx line seems the 430 watt model seems decent, and u dont need an upgrade it seems
