cv550 is on Tier D • Recommended only for very cheap, iGPU systems
and cooler master white mwe v2 230v is on Tier C • Recommended for cheap mid/low-end systems ( low priority units - minor issues or lack of info ) [1] MWE V2 units have high ripple issues on very low load also resulting in increased coil whine, fix pending.

I dont recommend getting any of them, what's your budget ?

I recommend this one seasonic gc core 650 80+ plus gold.
UPDATE :
1- Corsair GX 650w [gray] or 550w
2- EVGA BQ 650w or 550w
3- im not sure about this one but i think its better than the CV, Seasonic s12III 650w

hey, why not MWE? It's good I heard, if you'll be lucky with those defects

 

[JadeHarley]

if its good why did tomshardware listed it in in minor issues in cheap tier section ? and btw you have a good point since i saw a lot of people use it in their builds.

yeah, but looking at the list kinda not right, I have my knowledge and people that repair PSU's and so on, experience, so in the start I didn't recommended MWE, cause of defective consignment, but now it's some kinda best low-budget PSU, testing one of those, it's really good

If they are your only choices then get the better one.

But if you can find better ones again for a reasonable price then go with that.
