Hello guys i bought a gtx 1060 from gigabyte(3gb) and i realized i need a new psu.So i am going to buy from a local shop so please dont tell me to buy new psu if these are bad or send me links
(budget 100 euro)


The first option is the semi modular corsair cx 500w 80+ bronze
And the second option is the 600 watt 80+ bronze KCAS by aerocool

550W Gold+ G2 EVGA is all you need and it cost far bellow 100€.

I know the Corsair CX(M) is a solid unit. Not top tier of course, but it's the lowest quality that ever gets recommended here(meaning we prefer better, but this one isn't bad). It should work out just fine for you.

The CX would be better than the aerocool, but the regular cx is still a bit mediocre. I would look for the newer CXM if they have it like said above. Any other options? The CX500 should power your build just fine but usually you can find better psu's for the money.

sorry but i said i will buy from a local shop

He said it was the semi-modular(M) CX line. That's the difference from the CX and CX(M), the semi-modularity. This is from a local shop, so selection is limited. I agree, there are way better units that would fall into that price range on sale, but linking units from from the US version of pcpartpicker doesn't help(looking at you, xStampede).

That CS550M would be the best option. It scores fairly well, receiving an 8.4/10 from Jonnyguru: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=366

thanks for helping!!! although it costs 30 euros more(130) i think its worth the price(its 80+ gold) so yeah thank you very much.Can you answer me one more question? I bought the gtx 1060 because(asus dual 3gb) because i dindt want to upgrade for at least 3+ years(as i said i do light gaming) but i heard from my friends and asked the internet and they told me in the long run rx480 is better.I can send back the gtx 1060 and buy with the same money rx 480 (asus dual 4gb) is it worth it or should i stay with 1060.Thanks in advance

I was talking about this one, newer design not the same as the old CX: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139147

I agree the CS550M is a fine choice.

If you still can go with RX 480, it has more video RAM and will perform much better in future games thanks to Direct X 12, which favours AMD GPU's over Nvidia.

I'd agree with the 480 being a better overall choice than the 1060(3gb). One thing to consider is Warcraft though, which favors nVidia hardware. I think though, at this level you'd still get plenty of FPS either way.

I would bet the 1060 will perfom better in those titles. And we dont have enough DX12 titles to really say what is going to perfom better in the long run. The 1060 does better in rise of the tomb raider and gears of war 4 using dx12, they both perform worse in dx12 in bf1. I would say the 480 does better on average with dx12 but we dont really have enough dx12 titles yet to definitively say one way or the other. If I had to guess the 480 will do better in most of future dx12 titles, but it wont leave the 1060 in the dust like some people seem to think, I can almost guarantee that.
