Corsair CX500 vs CM Thunder M 520W

[Turismo98]

Well, basically I have to chose between these two PSUs

Both are in the same price range, and both are the most expensive PSUs I can afford (please don't suggest saving up for a better one )

 

Now, why I'm posting this topic is because I've heard that CX500 PSUs from Corsair are not very reliable, neither are Cooler Master PSUs.

 

PS: The CX500 PSU has 80+ Bronze efficiency while the other one doesn't although this doesn't really matter as I'm only looking for reliability and not just efficiency.

i would get the cx, i just can't find any scope results on the cm, even the 80+ isn't hard to get, i don't trust a psu if its can't even do that. 

edit found one on the cm here - http://www.goldfries.com/hardware-reviews/cooler-master-thunder-m-520w-power-supply-review/also http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html this saying it has better caps, still idk.

What is your price range? What country/currency?

What is your price range? What country/currency?

 

I live in Tunisia (In case you don't know where that is on the map, it's in North Africa, a few kilometers south of Italy), currency is Tunisian Dinar.

I've done a lot of research and those are the only (more or less) quality PSUs I could find.
