Out of all these power supplies what should I get ?

Go to solution Solved by PSUGuru,

Out of all those, the CXM.

M12II is simply terrible. Group regulated, lacks protections, 10 years old, loud lacks C6/C7 sleep states

Masterwatt bronze is... bottom of the barrel of acceptable. Worse than a CXM, but still acceptable as a budget unit for low wattage parts.

Thermaltake is terrible for the same reason as the M12II is terrible.

BQ isn't good for the simple fact that it lacks over temperature protection. (If a PSU lacks any protection, it's a no in my book.)

But if I might offer a different suggestion: Bitfenix Formula Gold 550w. You can get it just under 80$ and it's far better than any of those PSUs listed above.

I don’t need to know which one is the proper wattage. 

We don't either. What are you powering?

Congratulations, you picked the by far worst PSU
