What country?

I guess the vs550 if those are your only options.

 

Unless you can find a review for the Hyper K 500W

What stores can you order from?

I'm sure the corsair unit would be functional, but reliable is another story.

The MWE 550W isn't too bad, it seems to be the best option around that price range, there are certainly worse power supplies on that site.

How about this one Cooler Master MWE Series 500W 80+ White 230V PSU V2

all of the MWE ones should be about the same quality wise

 

but the Bronze rated MWE 650W here at least has a 3 year warranty vs a 2 year warranty

 

so just get that one, should be average to above average.

If they're around the same price just go for the higher wattage variants, less stress will be put on the components.

 

the white is probably still comparable.

The one i showed is R750 and the one you showed is R1100 that's a big difference

Best budget power supply from that site would be the Corsair VS450 for only R589 ($40 USD). https://www.takealot.com/corsair-vs450-watt-power-supply-80plus-white/PLID52289803

 

The Cooler Master MWE Bronze is a bit better, but it's also almost twice the price at R1100 ($75 USD). In my opinion probably not worth spending twice as much.

[Oalei]

i would take the MWEv2

I put a vs450 in a friend's i7 3770 build, and it has aged very well.. even the cpu still kicks butt.. don't listen to naysayers. You might be able to get an evga 500b for the same price though.  People's noses might not struggle so much to stay normal height for that one. 

 

I personally use a corsair cx 650m
