NZXT C550 Bronze or Fractal Design Anode Bronze 550W

[damian61]

I'm planning a case swap, and I need some modular or semi modular PSU due space limitations. I'm on a budget, both PSU are from C Tier, which shall I pick? 

The Fractal one comes with 5 year warranty, and slightly cheaper. But the NZXT is marked with orange in the tier list. I just need something silent

Just checked the amazon and other site reviews for C550, not sure if its a reliable unit. Semi modular thing was tempting but might need to check other options too.

Fractal Anode, MSI MAG A-BN and NZXT C Bronze are about the same. Same platform, same quality, same performance. Get the cheapest of these 3 units.

The be quiet! Pure Power 11 400w is a bit better but with 400w not much powerful.
