Dicoray
Go to solution Solved by colec18,

The Corsair CX600M is pretty good, I use it to power a r9 290 and OC'd i5 4670k.

Don't skimp out on a PSU its one of the most important parts. Get a decent one for less than $200.

 

Edit: Corsair CX 600w (semi modular) is $105 AUD its decent, or Corsair VS650 i think its around $80 (Not modular)

You don't have to spend 200 bucks for a PSU, as long it's reliable, work right, rails are correct, has the 80+ rating then it's fine.

What are you powering? Currency being used?

The SuperNOVA NEX 650G, CS650M and Capstone 650M should all be under $80.

The other two don't really compare to the Capstone.

The Capstone is better. The CS series is slightly worse than the RM series and the NexG1 is even worse--worse in this case as in 'It's alright and not spectacular'.

seasonic m12II 80plus bronze (flat cable ones) most likely more expensive than the other cheaper alternatives but I really like this company a lot. has proven to me that they are good and rma was kick ass.

 

fsp aurum psu or any company that put their sticker on it.

 

superflower green something don't have them but they are equally good. and the capstone is also pretty good.

 

btw was looking through some old stuff earlier and I found this. tested it and it still works hahahaha after all this years. 8-10 years can't really recall the right one. but this shit is old.

If you are looking for the "best" PSU for under $80, then it is certainly not the Corsair CX600M. It's an acceptable budget PSU.

For a little more, the Rosewill Capstone 550-M would be a better quality PSU than the CX. www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182262

The non-modular version can be gotten for the same price point as the CX (same price if you take advantage of the rebate) : http://pcpartpicker.com/part/rosewill-power-supply-capstone550
