CMPSU-650TX is a wee bit better. I recommend the CX650W which is a newer model.

The GS is lower quality compared to the TX.

Both should work fine though.
What are your specs btw?

Hope this helps.

Yeah both PSUs could work, or the CX model as well.

Take a look at this, it might help: https://www.custompcguide.net/the-differences-between-all-corsair-power-supply-units/

I came back to ask this question and see it was already posted. What is your hard budget? There are better units out there.

Consider this https://www.amazon.com/d/Computer-Power-Supplies/CORSAIR-RM650x-Certified-Modular-Supply/B015YEIBJ8. It is a better quality PSU that also offers better cable management. Because it's a modular PSU you only connect the wires you need.

https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-SSR-650FX-Modular-Warranty-Compact/dp/B073H33X7R is yet another high end model.

The RM650X and the Seasonic both come with a 10 year warranty so you'll be covered for at least a couple builds. Most other PSUs come with a 3 year warranty.

Happy New Year's!

The corsair tx line is hard to kill however it is aging and the corsair cx line can deliver the power you need.

I feel the need to share this btw: Last when I was building my PC, I used the Corsair AX860i. The first one was DOA, replaced in my retailer, and after a while, the second one had developed weird loud whining noises.

I ended up using a Cooler Master V700 after refunding with my retailer after they have tested and confirmed the issue.

Just a story I wanted to share. Corsair PSU might be better these days.

This is so true. Even if you purchase one of the best PSUs out there there is a chance it will be DOA or die in a few months or years like my EVGA GFX(3 months) card did. I submitted a RMA that was approved and I had a new card in a week. This is why you should be aware of your warranty responsibilities.

@OP - Please stay away from the V or VS Corsair models.They are low end budget buys that don't sound like they offer the peace of mind/ features and quality of build you need and I think the V is discontinued.

Do Corsair have a V or VS series? If you meant Cooler Master, I've had that V700 for about 4 years now. No problems what so ever.

I meant Cooler Master Same over here. I owned and used a $30 EVGA 80+ 500W PSU with my 970 for at least a couple years before I upgraded the card and PSU. Not something I recommend but it has gotten a lot of bad word of mouth and I think johnnyguru also didn't like it much.

but the Cooler Master V700 seem pretty well scored over at http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=360
Maybe newer models of the cooler master v series wasn't all that good?

the only issue i have ever had with a corsair psu was when i connected a fan incorrectly, triggering short circuit protection. I sent 2 back as doa before realizing this. Man i did some stupid things with my build. Corsair quality has increased. One example would be with the old cx line. The old corsair cx line was notorious for killing entire systems, however the new "grey label" cx line like i have is actually pretty decent.

Agreed, stay away from the green lettering.

Here is a RM550x fully modular 80+ gold psu with a 10 year warrenty. It has Japanese qualith capacitors, a silent fan mode, small length, and a decent price for $89 Heres a review:https://whatsabyte.com/reviews/best-psus/

 

[fradkinperadze]

I need all cables. Im using fatality 550w pro series. Only with 2 cables. For gpu mobo and for hdd and ssd. I need molex for fans and for other stuff. Im going to sell it and buy new. In my country i can buy tx 650w or gs 600 or cx 600w in same price.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

Avoid tx600 since it it older. Cx600 watt grey label is a solid choice. I dont know much about gs

 

[NightHawkRMX]

GS seems to be an older model dating back to 2012 or so. The newer grey label cx are a newer design.

Question from fradkinperadze : "which psu is better?"

I have mobo asus h110m-k and Gpu Msi 1070 8 gb oc armor.
which one psu is better and why ?
Gaming Series™ GS600 — 80 PLUS® Certified Power Supply or
Enthusiast Series™ TX650 — 80 PLUS® Certified Power Supply

TX650 is better. I could explain why, but it's doubtful it would make much sense to you. Suffice to say, that unit has a better internal platform and better warranty (5 year for non-Gold TX models, 7 year for Gold TX models) than the GS600 (3 year for all models), which is all that really matters anyhow.

Hey everyone. Im using ocz fatality 550w. Looking for a upgrade. Which one is better? Corsair GS 600W 80 PLUS® Bronze (48A) or Corsair cx 600W 80 PLUS® Bronze (46A)

Corsair GS is the better model.
That older CX is not very good.

Where you from? Could you get a similar Seasonic PSU for around the same price?

Question from fradkinperadze : "Need help with psu"

Hi everyone and Happy new year.
i have decided to buy second hand psu.
My system's components are i5-7500 and gtx 1070 . Not going to overclock or sli. Would like to have good working psu for my system without any problems in future)) P.S Dont tell to buy new one. i dont have any other ways)
i can buy one from them:
Corsiar CX 600W green
Corsair gs 600w
EVGA SUPERNOVA 550W G2
EVGA 600B 600W
Antec 520W Gaming SLI
Corsair CX 650 grey
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series™ TX650 old one (version 1)
Which one is better and why Thanks!

EVGA SUPERNOVA 550W G2 ....This is the best quality , no contest. Plenty of power.

CX650 Grey and Black model is the second best.

How old are each of the PSU's? PSU's rely on their capacitors within to deliver the power you see on your system. So with aged capacitors, comes reduced power output. You will also need to find out how heavily they were taxed since taxation of a PSU will also stress the capacitors thus reducing effective power output. The closer the PSU's were taxed to their power limits the more weaker the capacitors are.

In short that was my entire story to buy a new PSU and not set your entire investment(system) on fire. Regardless, it's your money and your choice.

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Yes EVGA G2 Leadex Platform is superior.
