Hi, first post, I bought my PC from a retailer almost 4 years ago (quite old), and now I'm planning to change my PSU, because the fan is starting to make a lot of noise (More than usual),is a generic chinese PSU (Kind of trash, I really need to change it). My budget is something along 40- 50 Usd and my build needs 300W. I looked for a PSU suitable for this budget, and now I have a doubt between a Thermaltake smart 430w 80plus White or an EVGA 400 W. I have read some reviews and these two doesn't seem to be the greatest PSU's, but for the options I've seen in the stores that fit my budget are "good" (I'm from Colombia and here tech things tend to be more expensive and some brands like coolermaster or seasonic are very very hard to get.) Also my build Is an Intel i5 446, nvidia geforce gt710, 8 gb ram ddr3, HDD 7200 rpm. TL DR: I need a good and cheap 400 W PSU, what should I buy between a Thermaltake smart 430w 80plus White or an EVGA 400 W. ??

This seems to be the only thing not a flaming fireball remotely in your budget...

The only things I can find even remotely close to the budget are the EVGA B1, BT, BR units. Everything else is either twice the cost, or like you said a fireball.

EVGA B1 450 is a loud unit (surprise to no one)
If they are concerned about fan noise from the PSU, might be worthwhile spending a little bit extra and grabbing the Corsair VS450 (grey label) instead.
