No. It's an old unit based on the Seasonic S12ii. Not very good.

Not the worst that you listed though. Your system is fairly low end so it shouldn't matter too much. At least Antec is still in business so you can RMA it when/if it breaks (assuming you bought it new and have warranty, that is).

So i just bought a RX560 4gb. And I want to upgrade my psu from the crappy CIT 480 UB power supply.

I have these options in the local store:

1)Cooler master elite power 400w

2) OC'Z 400w PSU (Please anyone review this as this is ezly available)

3)Antec Continous power 500w

4)Antec Earthwatt 450 or 500w

5) It will be very difficult to get it But i know its best of em 

Corsair CX500m orange

Please also note that i hate psu exploding or burning or showing some fireworks as i am pretty weak heart(ed)

Also i am running it on a Q9650(95TDP) and a Sata 7.2k Hdd

Online psu calculators calculated a power consumption of 330w

1) Bad quality.
2) OCZ went out of business YEARS ago. Besides being crap, it also means that you have NO WARRANTY. This would be the worst option as you have no-one to complain to when it blows up.
3) Crap
4) Depends on the exact model ("Earthwatt" covers several different product series), but most likely crap considering the other PSUs that are in your price range.
5) The CX500M Orange label is also crap and was discontinued several years ago

 

What country are you buying in and what is your budget?

The EarthWatts 450w Green is apparently pretty good for its price.

Which exact EarthWatts model is it that you're talking about?

That's the same PSU as the Seasonic S12II 520w Bronze which is outdated design and pretty bad... you are on a very tight budget aren't you? the problem is that Power Supplies below a certain price point are universally crap and nobody in here wants to tell you to go with any of those as they don't want to be seen recommending junk.

 

So you should either bump up the budget to CX450 Grey Label levels or just buy something at your own risk.
