Found a pretty good deal for that one, I'm thinking of getting it or the Corsair CX550M PSU but i heard some bad things about the CX series

Is it good? i've heard bad stories about Corsair CX models.

The older CX models were junk but the newer CXM are very good, I have the 550W version in my second system and it works well (i5-4590 & GTX 780).

Can't beat the price and quality:

Uses the Memphis-B motherboard: https://support.hp.com/ca-en/document/c03924124/
Looks like it takes standard 24pin ATX and 4pin EPS connectors, so you can change it out - looks to be a standard ATX sized PSU too.

A quality PSU in the 350-450W range would be more than capable, but your location and budget will play a factor.

The CX450M (2017) from Corsair is a very solid option, for $25 after mail-in rebate.

The CX550M (2017) can be had for that same price though (assuming you're in the US).

The CXM is better than the S12ii.

Yes, the CX450M is better overall than the S12ii, much newer design, and includes semi modularity.
