What do you mean, as in if the difference between the Smart and these other ones is large?

Yes, in fact one could argue that the Smart is pretty much garbage for any modern components. It's, at best, a very mediocre group regulated unit.

I'm not saying it'll blow up with a 1050Ti, but personally I wouldn't use it. If you have to go cheap, a be quiet! System Power 9 is still way better.

Hi i just recently buy the thermaltake 600watts 80plus bronzr and people said thats its fine psu but not good. So i sell this psu and buy a seasonic gc 550watts 80+gold does my decision good?

If you're using anything more than an APU, I'd suggest returning it.

There's no reviews out on the Core GC, if that's the one you're talking about. What components are you using, and what's your budget (and currency) for the PSU?

What hardware specifications are you planning to run the PSU on, also what country are you shopping from and what is your budget for the PSU?

Hope this information post was helpful  ?,

The Core GC got released quite recently, and there's no reviews on it as of yet. From what I've heard, it's more or less a cut-down version of the Focus. Should be fine, but I'd take a be quiet! Pure Power Gold over it personally.

Then the Smart is very overpriced.
