My budget is limited and the two most expensive power supplies that I could afford (which are sold in my country) are:
  • FSP Hydro PRO 700W [link]
  • Corsair CV 650W [link]
I know these are not good power supplies, but if you had to choose between the two, which would you choose?

FSP Hydro PRO 700W looks better to me:
  • 700W > 650W
  • It has protections: OCP/OVP/OPP/SCP (for Corsair CV 650W these are not mentioned at all)
  • It also has various features listed that are not even mentioned for Corsair CV 650W : "Efficiency ≥ 88% @ typical Load", "Active PFC ≥ 0.9" and so on...
On the other hand, there is no warranty mentioned anywhere for FSP Hydro PRO 700W, while for Corsair CV 650W there is + MTBF hours is also mentioned:

Corsair CV 650W:
  • MTBF hours: 100,000 hours
  • Warranty: 3 Year

Thanks!

I just found another option (which fits my budget and is sold in my country): Thermaltake Smart BM2 650W [link].
Not sure if it's better than FSP Hydro PRO 700W (I guess not big difference) 🤔

OR: ADATA XPG Pylon 650W [link]
