Trying to pick a PSU for Ryzen 5 1600 Build

Hello,

 

I'm trying to decide on a power supply for my Ryzen 5 1600 build. I was wondering if there was a big difference between:

 

1. EVGA 500 W1, 80+ WHITE 500W

2. CORSAIR CXM series CX450M 450W 80 PLUS BRONZE Semi-Modular

 

Here is the pcpartpicker link to the build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QNbPqk

 

I do realize that the EVGA one is not semi-modular, however, I have the NZXT s340 so all the cables will be covered up by the PSU shroud. If there isn't a difference I was going to go with the EVGA one since it's cheaper and it's the best seller on Amazon.

 

Thanks!

Of the two, I'd choose the Corsair, CX450M

The CX450M is better.
