[GibonCZ]

Hello 😛 im having trouble choosing right PSU
Which would be the right one for my system , corsair builder series CXM 430W atx/eps or 500W ? Ill be running i5 4690k with msi gtx 960 on a msi gaming 5 + 1 ssd and 2 hdds

If you had to choose from just those two, then you should go with the Corsair CXM 500W power supply. This would give you more overclocking headroom and space to upgrade. But, I would get a better quality power supply (Tier 1 or 2): http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html.

Do NOT buy Corsair CX Series power supplies. They use low quality capacitors and are a bad choice for high quality component builds.

Please refer to this PSU Tier List. Tier 1 and 2 PSUs are a safe buy, and it is recommended that you have at least a Tier 3 power supply:

as this is a gaming pc spend a little more for the xfx 650 and higher wattage units there rebranded seasonic units. there also on sale this week on parts picker. if you have to count pennys on this build look at the evga 600b unit.

Yes. The Cooler Master V550 80+ Gold Semi-Modular power supply is a tier 1 power supply.
