It will depend on the exact model. The wattage and quality varies.

It depends. The CX series by corsair is known to have many issues on higher end builds, but they seem to be fine on lower end ones. Silverstone seems okay from what I've seen. I would say judge it by the 80+ bronze/silver/gold ratings over the price point.

I am looking at SilverStone Strider SST-ST50F-PB 500W and Corsair vs550

I am unable to find the VS550 in stock online. The Strider you listed has a gold rating, with good reviews. It would be the better option to get.

Looked up a review on the Silverstone PSU, it seems to shutdown at anything over 450W, meaning its only good for low end builds. Between these 2, then I'd probably go for the VS550.

The striders are not really ATX standard psu, they are smaller form factor, so work good in things like htpc's where actual power requirements are smaller due to lack of huge power hungry gpus. Not really built for gaming demands.

neither of those are very good really. try this one from the same site. slightly higher price and lots better quality. http://www.1a.lv/datoru_komponentes_tikla_produkti/korpuss_dzesesana/barosanas_bloki/seasonic_m12ii520_evo_520w_m12iievo520
