Ok i know that corsair makes great power supplies however there 650 one is 80 certified i found a bequiet one cheaper price by a bit and its white and its 80 plus bronze however it is 600w can anyone help me the be quiet looks better but im not sure about the technical stuff and the black one which isnt special seems better than the corsair i cant find anything about the white one, maybe coz its white :D
For a personal point ive always found the selling point of corsair PSUs to be the 5year warranty, if their confident enough to give you 5 years its means their bloody built well lol.
Post links to the 2 PSUs so peeps can compare.
If you let us know ur system then we can help more as you may not need a 600W one and could just have a 500W one instead.
I have a 550W BeQuiet Dark Power Pro and it's been powering my PC silently for 2 years with no problems (and it looks gorgeous :D). Also BeQuiet PSUs are all modular as far as I know and the Corsair one you linked is not. Of course the one you linked is a very reliable and well regarded PSU.
Tell us what rig it's gonna be powering and a link to the BeQuiet to compare so we can help you decide :)
hi thanks for ur reply well its gona have hd 5770 maybe future upgrade of hd 5850 amd 955 and possibly amd 1090t in future corsair h50 dvd drive 500gb seagate barracuda an Asus M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 880G Socket AM3 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard and Scythe Nesteq FanMax 8-Channel Black Fan Controller, o and i also found this psu its 650w ocz but its 80 plus silver http://www.ebuyer.com/product/190772 also backed with a 5 year warranty with ocz power swap thing
edit: planing to overclock 955 to 3.8ghz and if i get the 1090t i will overclock to 4ghz
That OCZ PSU really looks great, and between that and the Corsair and BeQuiet you have a lovely decision to make because they are all good PSUs. However both PSUs you linked to are not modular and I would personally go for a modular one because having removable cables makes your job so much easier and tidier. This Enermax looks like a good deal at £70 and 500W is plenty for your rig:

If you need 4 PCI-E power connectors I would get this PSU:

It is made by Seasonic.
I would also look at this Seasonic unit too:
