is the EVGA 600W 80+ Bronze good?

[SnowMare]

is this psu reliable for
i5 4590 (yes i know i should have gotten the 6500)
rx 470 or 480?

many others used another brand and havent really sen anyone use the evga psu, is there something wrong with it?

No, pretty bad overall. You can get the Seasonic S12ii 520W for the same price , and even the very good EVGA G2 550W is usually under $80

EVGA makes more then just 1 model, you will need to provide a link.

The B1/G1/W series are not good.
The B2/G2 series on the other hand are both very good.

The 600B (600W bronze) comes only in B1, so it's always bad

They aren't *that* bad, but not stellar by any means, in reviews they seem a degree better than, say, a Corsair CX600.

I say this as somebody who has just ordered an EVGA 600w Bronze. It's a short term (a few months at most) solution for me until I can afford a Seasonic S12ii or Antec PSU, having spent £350 on upgrades in the last 7 weeks budgets are tight.

I ordered it to replace my CX600 because the fan on it has become very noisy and I can't be hassled finding a replacement, or soldering in a compatible fan, or ghetto rigging a case fan on a system header.

That one looks nice. I've put that one down on my shortlist of replacements for my replacement 600w Bronze B1, which is a temp replacement for my CX600 noisyfan.

I would have bought a higher spec PSU than the CX600 18 months ago when I upgraded, but budgets at the time.... It's seen me through an FX-4300 and an fx-8320 upgrade 7 weeks ago along with an EVGA 750 GTX card during this time period.

As stated, they aren't great but are not the worse. Their price is really their redeeming factor.
