Seasonic M12 or Antec HCG man. Might be able to find an EVGA B2 or GQ for that money too.

Since when could I find things for free?

If you have Amazon Prime, EVGA 700B is $50 if you're looking for something not so top-notch. I'm quite sure it has 2 8-pins, I'd be shocked if it did not. Also, for anybody wondering, the EVGA 450B is available on Newgg now for $25 after rebate. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438082&cm_re=evga_450b-_-17-438-082-_-Product

B1 are generally not great and for 50$, you can do much better with an XFX TS Bronze and sometimes even an S12G has been seen at 55$

I am well aware of that but if he is explicitly looking for something that's not too good, then that's that. Also, depends which B1 you are talking about. The 500B, ugh. The 600B, though, is actually a decent unit, as seen in Techpowerup's review. Very nice ripple for sure  https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/EVGA/600B/

 

700B has not been reviewed, so not sure about that one.

They're both tier 1, and the S is made by Seasonic. They're probably about as loud, but I believe the PS gets louder quicker as the fan starts running at 20% load so if silence is your thing then grab the P2. Same goes with the higher wattage versions of the GS vs G2

Well did find out that the P2 is more worth it than the PS, as the P2 has a 10 year warranty compared to the 7 year on the PS.

They're both so good that it hardly matters but I suppose that's a good reason to buy the P2, yeah.

How about the EVGA BQ series?

They're relatively unknown at this point despite having been available on Amazon for around a week now. They're made by HEC and I have my doubts that they'll trump the B2 so if you're looking at getting a PSU now then grab that or a GQ.

Alright, I just saw them on sale for a relatively good price for what they offer.

Finally, we have an English review of the Corsair Vengeance platform

And holy shit did it perform well. Still waiting for advanced transient tests / hold up time, but that is not bad at all. I feel the joy of someone who made a good purchase (got my 450M for $43)

Oh, good to know.

I knew when it was a very well reviewed psu that it was a good one, despite its higher price.

 

I own the AX1200i and AX860i. Beyond a minor issue recently, my 2 Corsair psu's have been just fine. Plus theyre in tier 1.

This should be updated for the new CX (X50) units.

I've had the thought of creating a Google Spreadsheet but haven't gotten around to it.

That sucks, otherwise it's really informative.

I wish there was a way of having multiple people edit a topic cuz I would do it but I've asked mods and they said it can't be done

 

One of these days I will add tiers to my PSU whitelist with a casual note on the side of the particular PSU ranking the tier. That's so time consuming though which is why I haven't done it.

Same reason why I haven't done the spreadsheet thingy

 

It's a matter of having one full free day and devoting it to the Ranking. Easily 8 hours of work if not more.
