Cheap 600w PSU

[GameEtiquette]

Hello,

I'm not familiar with Coolmax; can anyone give me some insight on whether this would be a decently trustable power supply? Thanks!

No, coolmax is known for shoddy power supplies. The best 600w psu at that price range is the evga 600b. http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-80PLUS-Bronze-Certified-100-B1-0600-KR/dp/B00EON40CS

Never cheap out on a power supply. Buy quality ones. While unlikely, if the PSU goes, it can take other parts with it.

What does your PC look like? 600 watts might not be necessary.

3rd Gen i5 and r9 280x.

I understand a 500w would suffice but looking for 600w just for peace of mind.

Even if you were overclocking, you can get away with this.
