Which PSU is better?

[ervin19]

I want to buy a PSU and I don't know which one is better:
Thermaltake Smart 630W http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff450/MacClipper3/Thermaltake/Smart%20SE%20630W%20PSU/IMG_6201Copy_zps8b5406fa.jpg~original

or the CoolerMaster GX 550W

The thermaltake imo, but why are you limiting yourself to choosing from two very average PSUs?

Because I'm on a tight budget and I also need to buy more RAM and a Graphics card...

I don't think the poster is from the US, that's usually the main reason why people would even consider coolermaster or thermaltake 😛

There is usually an Antec VP450 or a Corsair CX500 in every country I've made a build for so far (about 20+ so far), you should see if you have them available as they will be better quality.

I don't know what your build is, but just so you know the GX 450w is actually somewhat ok.

Tier 2 class B, it's even better than a CX.

Thank you, I'm from Europe and in my city/country I can't find Antec or Corsair. 🙁

If you want to link the site you are using and list your GPU/CPU, I could maybe find you a better option than those two psus.

Usually, if you have the newer thermaltake SMART available, it means the store will most times have at least decent selection.

Both are poor choices and the power supply is where you don't try to save money.
