[SOLVED] Good 550+ PSU for around £50

[ReservationsAtDorsia]

As the title suggests I need a new PSU and am not sure on what to get? Would a cv 550 be good as I can get this and fits my price range?

Whats the full pc spec?

I would step up to the CX550. The CV is the lowest end of the Corsair range best suited to a basic office pc. For a gaming system you want something a better. Gaming puts the psu under high load for long periods of time although your system doesn’t need a lot of power. I could recommend better but they will be much higher over budget.

Is this the PSU your talking about because its a CX550M is there a difference between the two?

It is different but would have also been ok. However just found this, significantly better for a few extra £

Thanks man looks good although I'm wondering how would I use the warranty, would I just call the people who make the unit?

Yes, warranties are dealt with directly by the OEM.

Thanks for the response but the user above you has recommended me another PSU but appreciate the response nonetheless.
