No, CX series PSU's are not reliable and highly not recommended here.

This PSU is made by the best company in the world for PSU's, Seasonic. It will be a good choice.

XFX TS 550w 80+ Bronze $69.99 (or $59.99 with the $10 mail in rebate.

Just buy the CX500 if you don't want to deal with the hassle of the $10 rebate for the XFX TS 550.

I started off with the CX430 and then I switched to the XFX TS 550 so we are just trying to save you the hassle of a getting a XFX TS 550 after buying a CX 500 since everyone starts overclocking their video cards particularly during winter.
