What are some trustable PSU brands

[unrealj]

I was wondering what are some trustable power supply brands that i should go for that are on the budget side because i just got a new AMD radeon HD 7850 and i just figured out that i don't have a 6 pin pci-e power connector. But i only have $60 to spend so im asking what PSU or PSU brand should i go for.

 

[Emelth]

Antec, Silverstone, Corsair, PC Power & Cooling are some of the top ones

I have a Corsair HX750. It's the best damn power supply I've ever owned in 20 years of building. That's a nice vid card. Don't skimp on the PSU. The extra cost is pennies compared to what it costs to replace hardware fried by a faulty PSU. I've had a system and most components become completely unusable due to a terrible PSU.

[Emelth]

If you are in the US:
Rosewill Capstone-450 ($60 @ Amazon / Newegg)

Reviews for others in the series (they all use the same internal design, just at different wattages, so performance/quality will be the same/similar):
Capstone-750 http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=266
Capstone-550M http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/1584

No - they are one of the industry's absolute worst. This list is a tad outdated but explains the PSU tier very well: http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx

.

No - if that power supply doesn't have 80+ certification don't buy it.

No it would not as it has absolutely no relationship to the Capstone series apart from also being sold by Rosewill.
The red 115 / 230 V switch next the power cord plug and on/off switch indicates that it is an older design that is not even 80% efficient (therefore it could not get an 80 PLUS certification).
You have not said what the rest of your system is, but it is extremely unlikely that you will need more than a good 450W PSU. And even if you did need more than a 450W unit a Rosewill Stallion '700W' is not the best way to do that.

Good for guiding people away from bad PSUs, not as good for anything else IMO.

That's why I said it's a tad outdated.

 

[unrealj]

as for the rest of my system i have a amd FX-6100 and a basic 49$ msi micro atx motherboard i cant think of the specific name atm,HIS IceQ amd radeon 7850,and a 500w cheap power supply with no 6 pin connectors which i need for the card but the card i have installed currently is a Geforce GT 610.

 

[unrealj]

this one is 80+ certified would it do the job good? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817190031

No - that's from another very low tier manufacturer - like Raidmax or Apevia. This would be better: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151094

 

[unrealj]

anything that is 600w or over thats 75$ or below maybe alittle over that price

Go with the one I linked to in my last post - it's one of the best you can get on the market right now.

 

[Silvune]

Still don't need more than 450W, but this is the best ~650W PSU at/under $75:
XFX ProSeries 650W Core Edition P1-650S-NLB9 ($75 @ NCIX US / $10 rebate)
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650snlb9

Better than the Seasonic S12II Bronze as it is independantly regulated.

alright thanks for your help people

You are aware that's a rebranded Seasonic PSU right?

 

[Silvune]

Yes, a rebranded Seasonic but a 'more advanced' design than the S12II Bronze you linked.
