Compatibility Question .

[Arkannix]

Trying to refresh my memory on what PSUs fit in what case, I'm probably replacing my PSU. My case is https://m.newegg.com/Product/Index?itemNumber=N82E16811119216
And the PSU is https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EON40CS/ref=psdcmw_1161760_t2_B00I5VSWAQ
Side question: That PSU seems to have been reviewed well, is it a solid unit?

Thanks

All modern mid tower and full tower cases take the industry standard ATX PSU. So, your choices are practically unlimited.
Yes, the 600B is an "OK" PSU for a budget buyer. But not one of the best. And (I think) not Haswell ready.

B2 -> good
B1/BQ -> not so good

I've seen the term Haswell ready a lot, does this mean these don't function with Haswell CPUs?

No, they will work fine. It's just that they may have problems when the CPU goes into C7 sleep state. Corsair has a pretty good explanation: http://www.corsair.com/en-us/blog/2013/may/haswell-compatibility-with-corsair-power-supplies

One more question, (Not sure if I should make a new thread for this or not) but would the Corsair CX600 be recommended above the EVGA 600B?

Lol no the cx600 is pretty bad.
I'd look around for a cxm550. Those would be better.

I'd avoid the CX line of Corsair PSUs if I were you. This mid-range Seasonic is one of the best for the money. A bit more expensive than the Evga you were looking at, but it should last the life of any system... and more. https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-S12II-620-BRONZE-SS-620GB/dp/B003BIEOCI

Generally for budget PSUs with high quality:
Seasonic Units are great
As are XFX (except for the XT) - they are actually made by Seasonic
For corsair the new CXMs are decent (grey lettering on the box, 450/550/650W) all other CX/CXM units are utter garbage
