Corsair CX500 or Thermaltake Smart 650W

[juanitox]

Hello everybody,

I need some advice, trying to decide what would be better to get. I practically got only these 2 options since that's the best I can get in the local stores for my budget.

My system:
ASROCK FM2A55M-VG3+
AMD A8 6600K
8GB DDR3 RAM PC1333
500GB @7200RPM Seagate HDD
1 x 120mm cooler
1 x 92mm cooler
1 x 80mm cooler

I want something stable, mean to last. In the near future I might add a mid-range video card.

So please advice me on what would be better to get, either the Corsair CX500 or Thermaltake Smart 650W.

Thanks in advance!

They are both similar quality so I would go with the thermaltake as the higher wattage will lessen the load on it and keep any of its flaws from showing. It also has some sweet low profile cables.
