The certification on power supplies shows the efficiency of the product, the better the certification, the more efficient the product is.

Not saying this is the case for all '80 Plus' Certified PSUs, but they are generally quite unreliable and the capacitors are cheaply made as well as the PSU. Basically, the Bronze Rated 80+ PSU is more efficient power-wise, and generally much more stable.

I'm guessing he recommended the 500B.

Have a read through this for a good review from one of the top PSU review sites:
