Compared to my other one why is this one 60 and my other one is 30.

I see the Bronze and Gold thing but not really sure the difference between the two if you can explain to me that would be great

The one I linked is $36.99 after rebate. The XFX is made by Seasonic who are one of the best manufacturers, and it has a longer 5 year warranty. The Bronze, Gold thing is the efficiency.

He would need to update his BIOS with the 4460 and i think that he doesn't have a spare haswell cpu so the 4440 is the better option for the same performance.
