What makes them so bad?

VS and CX are built with cheap chinese capacitors primarily and their voltage regulation and ripple suppression is mediocre at best. They also don't operate fully stable over 30*C ambient temperature

CS are meh - chinese caps, nothing special, 40*C temp tolerance. overpriced for what they are

RM use crappy secondary capacitors - they're good but are priced waaaay too high

Ehh...it works and it hasn't fried anything...I plan on getting the 6 core i7 and an R9 390 and probably upgrading my PSU to a 1000W PSU

I'd get a new PSU first - that CPU can push double the power of your current one :D

I can't seem to find any that are good. Can you link me to one that has 430w and under 45 dollars?

Should I get a couple fans?

if you want get one 120mm for exhaust - case has 1 for intake already. All you really need is that.
