PSU 500W choice

[johnforumacc]

Hello!

 

Does this PSU Fortron ATX 2.3 500W 85+ FSP500-60APN 85+ (38.60 €) is good choice over Corsair Builder CX500M ATX2.3 80+ 500W (57.39 €) to save money?

 

I can get Fractal Design ATX 2.31 Integra R2 500W FD-PSU-IN2B-500W for 55.47 €

 

Thanks!

No. Get something from a reputable brand like corsair.

You risk frying your whole system with a crappy PSU.

I have never heard of Fortron, and wouldn't trust that PSU in my system.

Go Corsair or Seasonic.

Hope this helps!

BTW in PSU calculator power usage is 440W, 500w supply will be OK? or better use 550W?

500W or 550W.

 

Corsair CX500 or CX500M should be fine. Seasonic G Series 550W or XFX XTR 550W are better quality but more expensive.

 

I wouldn't use the Fortron PSU until quan comments.

Where are you shopping? Budget? What are you powering?

Fortron is also known as FSP and is one of the largest psu oems in the world. They aren't the best and their quality varies but they have some decent units like their Raider and Aurum series.

Psu calculators for the most part are highly inaccurate. You're better off listing of your specs for us.

You need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.

If you just want the cheapest option, I'd suggest the cx500 http://www.1a.lv/datoru_komponentes/barosanas_bloki/corsair_builder_cx500_atx23_80_500w

However, it's not much more for the Raider S which is quite a better unit. http://www.1a.lv/datoru_komponentes/barosanas_bloki/fortron_fsp_raider_550_atx231_88_550w_raider_s_550_88

You could also spend a bit more and get the cx500m if you really want the modularity.

Depends. If it's something like an Aurum, definitely.

I will go with Raider, because of 80 PLUS® Silver and 550W will give me some headroom.

 

I do not think i need play extra for modularity,  because I will use ATX case, so I will have place to put cables.
