Hi,
I'm looking for a new psu, last one was a crappy gigatech 550w and there was a lot of problems with it.
I really cant wait anymore because I need my pc and have a small budget. PSUs that I found here in my area within my budget are corsair cx series 430/500, cooler master b500 ,thermaletake litepower and evga 430w and 500w 80+ .
My setup is
CPU: amd fx-6100 (gonna upgarde the cpu too with an i5 )
GPU: rx 460 2gb
RAM: kingstone 8gb ddr3
HDD: seagate 250gb
I use it for gaming mostly cs go, h1z1, lol, and maybe some singeplayer games.
Thanks for your help.

Yea, the TXM is an excellent unit, very highly rated, tier 1 PSU.

The Seasonic is an older model, but still rock solid and a quality unit.


The TX is a prime Gold unit, the only it's slightly cheaper is because it's semi modular.

Same with the Seasonic G.

If it was full modular it would cost more and they aren't exactly cheap.
 


Yeah, only difference up to the RMx series is that the RMx is fully modular, have better fan bearing and runs in semi passive mode.
 


The TX would be the bottom of what I would actually buy from Corsair.

Wouldn't touch anything less with my money.
 


Absolutely agreeing with that. Actually, personally I wouldn't go below the RMx series.
 


Yeah full modular. :)

But on a budget I would buy a TXM if I had to.

That or the Seasonic G.

But I prefer full modular also.
 
The OP should just get the S12II 620w vapor posted. While those models you guys are talking about are a bit newer/better they are hard to get in some countries. Most at best have access to 2 year old tech and or paying out the nose for anything newish.
