Better Power Supply!

[GAMINGPC4]

When I asked if my PC was good enough, everyone said my PS was bad. It was a Corsair CX600W PSU.

Is this one better?

It is great! Go with it!

Corsair CX is not bad, but Seasonic is better.
But... I see little reason to pay more for a gold rated psu.

Your PSU is indeed not good, it uses cheap capacitors and is more likely to fail on you.
Your are paying a pretty hefty price though, it seems like you want 600W for your PSU, so I'll try to find something cheaper.

Here is the absolute cheapest and best alternative, but if you have some extra money to spend on a semi-modular PSU for more organized cabling, (something that your CX600 isn't right now) then here is another good option.

You could pay $100+ and get a fully-modular, gold-rated PSU but the ones I've listed will get the job done and are solid units.
Plus, I only recommend 80+ Gold and fully-modular supplies in higher wattages, such as people running SLI 780's and such.

Thanks, are there any good cheap ones on Newegg.ca. I want to buy all of my items from one place to feel more organized sorry.

Newegg.ca?

Well, it looks like you're in Canada. Well, I am too and I'll let you know something.
Everything over here is on a 25% markup compared to the US. I'll try to find you a good alternative for us Canadians.

It's from Memory Express, and I've ordered my GPU from there so it's reputable. They don't have this supply at Newegg Canada unfortunately, but ordering from Memory Express is easy, trust me.

If you really want to stick with Newegg Canada, and don't mind paying a premium just to be "organized", then this is your best choice.

You're really losing out big though, because the other one is $5 cheaper, and is fully-modular and 80+ Gold certified. But it's your choice though, good luck!
