I need help chosing PSU for my budget build.
Which one of these three PSUs should i get:
-EVGA 500B
-Corsair VS Series VS650
-Be Quiet! System Power 8 500w
 
Solution
I took a look around , not much to choose in that price range , I agree with the BeQuiet being the best choice here , I also can't stand the fan on the 500B , always complaints about it here being noisy.

Sorry .........tried all the decent online retailers.
NOt sure of the insistence that the bequiet is better at all.
the bequiet & the evga are inherehntly based on the same hec platform (they are in all likelihood the same internals or as close as)
The bequiet offers 456w 12v split rail,the evga 480w single rail.
The evga imo offers a slightly better cable layout.
Both Psu's are budget models,both have 3 year warranties.
There really isnt a great deal between them but there are far far more reviews & stripdowns on the evga unit available.
For that reason Id still take the evga as the slightly safer bet out of the two.
Definitely the corsair comes last irregardless of its higher wattage.

However best to wait to see if Blackbird can pull something out of the bag for you.

 
The Be Quiet has 2 reviews, one actually came out yesterday or so. But it seems to have lower ripple than the EVGA and is a lot quieter. The EVGA 500B can get really loud. Split 12V rails is also safer than a single 12V rail. Since I'm on a phone and multitasking is a pain I don't feel like finding reviews ATM.
