    What PSU is suitable for me?

    Hello guys.
    I have been looking for a nice, high quality Power Supply Unit for a while now, as my trusty OCZ CoreXStream maybe turning rogue on me anytime soon. I have Three choices, but which one would you guys recommend? Oh and in case you are wondering, Here are my PC specs -

    Antec 302 Chassis
    GigaByte Radeon HD 7770 GHz edition
    Intel Pentium G620 Dual core
    4GB 1333MHz RAM
    Asus P8H61M-LE/USB3 Revision 3.0
    Cooler Master Blizzard T2 Cooler

    I have found these Power Supplies which in my opinion are great -
    Corsair CX430 V2 Builder series - http://www.scan.co.uk/products/430w-...an-atx-v23-psu

    XFX Core Edition 450W - http://www.scan.co.uk/products/450w-...n-atx-v231-psu

    Silverstone Strider Essentials 500W PSU - http://www.scan.co.uk/products/500w-...24x7-use-ready!

    Which one of these three would you guys recommend to me, bearing in mind, my budget is very, very low?

    The one you linked to is not made by FSP but (Power Giga) http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_a...s/Page2423.htm <<<< look under (SHA Bronze series) - SHA350M
    The one you refer to is SHA350-8P which is discontinued and not modular

    Also the one listed on scans website has only 9A on each rail me thinks this would be a bad move even though its 80% bronze certified.......

    Id suggest anything between 500 - 550W.
    Stay with Corsair, XFX or SeaSonic. The Corsair and XFX PSUs are Seasonic OEMs. Enermax may also be a good option.
