Which PSU should I choose?

[Majkiller11]

So, I've got a specific budget of sub-60 euros. The place I'm planning to buy the psu has 4 offers in this price range, the Thermaltake Hamburg 530w, the Be Quiet System Power 8 500w, the Cooler Master Master Watt Lite 500w and the Evga 500w. Which one would be the best option to go for?

they are all pretty low quality while evga has 500w is the ok-ish-t.

where are u from? im quite sure we can find u something better

Non of those are good PSUs. See if you can find something like a Corsair CXm series or Seasonic S12II series as they are both decent units.

It's not a website like amazon or something like that, I'm Greek so there's non of that here, its a casual hardware shop.

I'm from Greece, so amazon,newegg and stuff like that are a no-go. As I said, I've got a budget of about 60 euros, and as far as I'm aware, these are the only options under 60 that are over 500watts (I don't want the psu to have a lower wattage). So, unless you can find something that's surely under 60 euros and is better than the psus I mentioned, which one of them would you recommend? P.S: I've heard good things about the be quiet one, and a friend of mine has the cooler master one.

I've come to a conclusion that I'm going to buy on of these two PSUS: Either the Be Quiet System Power 8 500w or the Corsair CX450. My system has an i5 4440, 8gb of ram and a gtx 1060. Which one of the two should I choose? I currently have a cheap (pretty bad), Chinese PSU that's 530w, it does not have a pci-e cable though, so I cannot use my gpu, unless I use an adapter. If I go for the corsair 450w PSU it would look like a downgrade, but I think that in the end, its a much more reliable PSU and it is more than enough for my system. So, what's your opinion on that?

I would grab the corsair 450w. It's not a downgrade, it's a major upgrade from what you have and 450w is plenty for your system.

I've been doing some research for the past couple of hours and I found out that the cx series of the corsair PSUs is considered pretty bad. Most people are talking about the old cx psus though, as for the "new" cx series, I'm not really sure. Can't decide... what's the best option....

The old CX series with green logo is bad. But the new CX and CXm series with grey logo are decent. The 450w is the new version.

That's what I thought too, but I've seen some specific reviews where people say it makes crackling noises and stuff like that, so I'm not really sure what to believe. Considering everything I've said, you still think that the corsair cx450 is the best choice? Once again, my options are, Be quiet system power 8 500w, Corsair cx450 and Evga 500w.
