You can definitely get better PSUs. Why are you trying to OC the GPU? 

 

Just take a look at this list here, anything from Tier A to Tier C is good to buy

dude what the actual fuck. First off, your PSU isn't very good (it's actually really bad if I'm being blunt) and NO ONE NEEDS TO FUCKING SEE PICTURES OF FUCKING JOEYS WORLD TOUR DOING NASTY SHIT LIKE THAT.

PSU is the worst place to be a cheapskate on, just like getting a cheap heart surgery.

Assuming your system is fine with 450W (550W is probably best but it's way over your budget)

is there any difference between the semi modular version of this and the non modular (except for obviously it being semi modular)

Those are all the differences.

[NunoLava1998]

Even then, I'd go for the VS450. It's still a great PSU.

tip: switch to night mode for ACTUAL advice

They're completely different. The CX non-m is better, but they're both alright.

The non-M has a rifle-bearing fan while the M (modular) has a sleeve-bearing fan (which can reduce lifespan).

That's not true, they both have riffle-bearings.

 

And I'll say this again, they are completely different platforms.

The CX450 has two variants: one Great Wall and one CWT. They do perform somewhat around the same though the CWT version seems to be a little bit better. So, it depends

Yes, that is true, but neither are used in the CXM. Completely different topography.

 

CX-M is double forward, and (both) CX non-m is LLC resonant.
