Corsair CX 650 *2017 (non modular) or Antec Neo Eco 650

[DesertGhost444]

I'm not from the US. So i have a very limited options on psu's. Im planning to get an rtx 2060. So i need advice on a psu. NOTE: The gpu im buying needs two 8 pin power connector.

 

Corsair's CX 650M (semi modular) version is not available in my country. So dont suggest that. Dont suggest any seasonic or evga psu's either cause its not available here.

 

Corsair CX 650 and Antec Neo Eco 650 are my only options. The corsair one is a bit cheaper and the antec costs a bit more because its semi modular. Which one should i buy?

I'd go for the CX650.

The CX (non-modular) is better than the CX-M anyways!  So I'm glad that's an option.

 

The CX has a resonant mode front end and DC to DC for the +3.3V and +5V rails.

 

The Antec is an older CWT GPK platform.  It's double forward and doesn't have DC to DC.

 

Pretty cut and dry choice between the two if they're the same price.  But I imagine the Antec is probably about $5 cheaper.

I believe the new Neo Eco is a Focus platform based unit.

That's Neo Eco Gold.  You're correct.

 

OP needs to clarify if they're asking about Neo Eco Bronze or Gold.

 

Because if it's Neo Eco Gold vs. Corsair CX, then obviously the choice should be Neo Eco Gold.

Its Neo Eco Bronze. Neo eco Gold isn't even available here. Antec HCG 650w Gold is available but that costs 40$ more than neo eco 650w bronze.

In that case go with the Corsair CX650. If the CX550 is available for cheaper than that would also do for your system. Don't go with the CX450 though as it only has a single PCIe connector.
