[SOLVED] Better PSU?

[Screx]

I am on a budget so which one of these should I pick? Corsiar Cx550 or Antec VP550P V2
I'm not gonna overclock.
System:
Rx 580 , i5-4440s, Hyper X fury 8g

The Corsair CX 550.

What he said. The new CX is quite superior to what they used to be, and the VP is sub-par for gaming usage.

Thank you guys!

It's such a frustrating series; there are like a million PSUs in the VP series and at random, a few of them have Japanese capacitors and are independently regulated. And are older to boot!

Can't risk the changes haha

Yeah. Same basic VP model is made in 3 different factories, in 3 different places, by three different OEMs only 1 of which is ok, one barely makes mediocre and the third is not good at all. Only way to tell them apart is the full model number has a different letter on the end. Leaves a sour taste for sure.

I just found a store where I'm getting a CX 650 cheaper than CX 550 (online) so the CX series is good to go?

As long as it's a 650 and not a 600, absolutely (they only have a 600 in the older, poorer version of CX and only a 650 in the newer, better line).
