Corsair tx550m vs cx650m

[k.mazurk88]

Between these two psu which one would you choose. I believe the TX is higher quality.
Build is i7 8700k and a RX580 possible upgrade to vega or 1080ti along those lines. Unsure if the 650 is actually needed or not.
I did a PCpartsicker with a titan z and it said max wattage was only 557 so I'm assuming the better TX series 550w would be more then enough for awhile but i wanted to check here.
These are both $45 after rebate thats why im trying to choose between them,

The TXM is the better PSU , get that one.

Get a TXM 650 if available.

The whole theory of higher quality PSUs is the smoothness of the output under all conditions. If you are going to overclock, a high-quality PSU is essential. If I had a high-end motherboard, CPU and GPU, and a bunch of expensive RAM/SSDs, I'd sure go for I high-quality PSU. I use CX-series PSUs (I like Corsair: Seasonic and EVGA make good ones, too) for my general/friend/average builds. Nicer boxes need better PSUs.

I ended up going one teir up to a teir two psu, got the antec hcg 620w on sale for $70, hopefully it's a quality psu.

It's a decent PSU made by SEASONIC , the TXM would have been a better choice, The Antec is an older platform , but it's decent like I stated.

Damn, well looks like I'll be canceling that order any going with my first choice the txm... thanks a million SR

Glad to help.

Glad to help.

One more question for you SR, in the sub $80 price range is the TX the best choice? I'm thinking minimum is 450-500w to make sure I can pick any gpu or possibly crossfire a pair of rx580s.

PSU requirements for AMD \ NvidiaCards.

I like the TX in that price range.
