What PSU is the best for this build?

[jeysan]

So, I have two options.

Option 1) Get the Corsair CX500M
Option 2) Corsair CX600M

This is my build ;


CPU : Intel Core i5-4590 3.3GHz Quad-Core

Motherboard : ASRock H97M PRO4 Micro ATX LGA1150

Memory : Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866

Storage : Western Digital Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5"

GPU : MSI Radeon R9 380 R9 380 GAMING 4G 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support ATX

Case : Corsair 200R

Optical Drive : Asus DRW - 24B1ST/BLK/B/AS

But yeah, If you have any other suggested PSUs list them

Anything but the CX 500 or 600.

In all seriousness that is a problem PSU, its just about ok for a non gaming PC but for a gaming one once the GPU pushes it it craps out. There are non stop issues with it with folks on this board.

You want to look for the EVGA 550 GS or G2, the XFX TS 550, or the Seasonic S12G 520. Thats a starting point, if you can't find any of them, let me know we can find some more.

Neither really. Ideally you want a PSU in Tier 3 or above. have a read http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

This one is great and is currently cheaper than CX.

So is 500 or 600 enough for this? I dont want to buy something not necessary. Thanks for the suggestions, will look into it.

500 will do the job, But the one he linked is a good quality one and a great deal price wise, so a little extra isn't going to hurt and is good to have.

I'm in for another vote on the EVGA Supernova G2 80+ GOLD rated PSUs. Built by Superflower, and for the meatier units can get a 10yr warranty just by registering the unit after purchase.
