EVGA 600b is the best out of the three

XFX is the best out of the three

(Thought it was the 550w XFX)

Don't get corsair CX PSU's with gaming rigs, they're meant for office and light use.

 

get either EVGA or XFX.

Well, could you tell me why? The person right before you said the xfx so...

They are both very reliable, the EVGA is a superflower I believe which is a company known for making superb power supplies. The difference is that the EVGA one has a bit more wattage which may be helpful when using a R9 390

 

I thought that was the 550w XFX my bad. The 650w XFX power supply would be best

Check the link in my sig for info on PSUs and which ones won't blow up your system. The XFX of all of those is much better than the others. Both the EVGA and Corsair are mediocre but that doesn't mean that all of each of those brand's PSUs are all terrible - they're all made by different OEMs and such.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
