Rosewill or Corsair?

[Terryh2]

I have been leaning towards this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182200&cm_re=power_supply-_-17-182-200-_-Product
it looks great plus a good deal on it right now, on the other hand ive been thinking about this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028&cm_re=cx_600-_-17-139-028-_-Product
which one should i get? im wanting to get the rosewill one but id like some opinions first please, thanks!

my setup is: i5 3570k, 8gb ram, currently diablotek 500w psu , just bought a gigabyte r9 270, Thermaltake V3 black edition VL80001W2Z case. im sure ill have enough power with either psu, but i want the best and longest lasting one while being the cheapest.

Personally I would pick the Corsair PSU, mainly because I think they seem to be a more trustworthy brand than Rosewill. The Rosewill PSU looks okay though, it has a higher wattage but I think Corsair if you aren't willing to spend any more.

Neither. Get this one instead - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013

It's $25.99 after rebate.

Neither of them is that great. If you can, grab something from XFX, Seasonic or Corsair (AX, TX, and HX units only).
Example (it's on sale, hence the low price): http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9

Both are VERY POOR.

This is SEASONIC made very high quality plenty of power.

Yes, it'll be easily enough for your system.

 

[ksham]

Yes; more than enough even for any overclocking that you plan to do.

If you were to get any PSU to satisfy your needs, I would suggest this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-m12ii620bronze

You pay more, but it is a great PSU

When i read the price i figured you had linked to something shoddy, then i clicked the link and was super surprised!

That XFX TS 550W PSU will be fine for a 3570 and an R9 270.

@EpicStarman, the M12II is old, it hasn't been discontinued yet but there are far better units for the price than it

 

[Terryh2]

yeah tell me about it, pretty good deal in my eyes. Guess it pays to ask to see what other people think eh? xD. im going with that one, cant beat that, thanks guys
