Xfx arent better than evga per se - just those evga b1 series psu's are budget orientated & made by hec - they're fairly solid 'budget' units as nostall said - they can be trusted,they won't burn your PC.
Evga also use superglower for their b2 & g series units & they are some of the best around.
Xfx only use seasonic as a manufacturer though I personally don't rate the xfx core 450 - its seasonic but an older model & underpowered IMO.

The ts 550 though is generally close enough in price to the evga 600b & is ultimately just a better PSU plain & simple.

B600 is better, but still not good quality. Get PSU from Tier 1 or 2

For this system you need 430w or more

Few of the cheapest good quality PSU

And btw i3 4160 is better in gaming than fx-6300

Thanks you for your reply,

If you say that i need 430W or more the I will buy 500W EVGA PSU.

P.S. I checked gameplays between FX 6300 and i3 4160 and FX was more better than i3.

Thanks again. 😉

Why would you buy low quality 500w PSu that doesnt even have efficency rating if you can get good quality PSU for less.

Also i3 4160 is better in 95% of the games than fx-6300,

Why low quality? It's 500W, It's EVGA and it has 80+ rating. :)

Thanks :)

o my bad, still 80+ bronze is standard today

EVGA 500w uses low quality capacitors, why do you think is that big price of a difference between EVGA 500w and EVGA G2 550w (one of the best quality PSU on the market)

Here you can check which PSU are good quality - http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

at higher load sometime even at lower this can happen with low quality PSU, capacitors explode and fry you whole system and you will need to buy everything again

The guys posting above are right about quality etc. But if you are restricted both by your location and budget, I would choose the 600B.
Here are two reviews from JohnnyGuru; one of the 500W the other of the slightly less powerful (then the 600B you are considering) 500B: the B had a bit better power performance than the W and build quality was a little better.

Again, if you can't afford a better unit or one is NOT available in your location; if you can step-up, then the others here have posted good recommendations.
