Help me choosing a psu please.

Hey there. Today afternoon I did a post because my psu was failing me. Upon many tests I concluded that it is best to switch to something in the same price range. It is very important that I get a fast response since i'm going to the store tomorrow morning.

 

At the moment I have a corsair CS650M and I'm having problems with the fan. Not only it is a common problem as the psu is not as good as I thought (according to the linus community and the web). You guys talked about the XFX and seasonic. In the store that I am going tomorrow I have the XFX 650W XXX Edition Bronze as the only alternative on stock. (https://www.pcdiga.com/2/8059/Fonte-XFX-Pro-850W-Core-Edition-P1-850S-NLB9) Is this a good power supply? Better than the CS650M? I also might (even though I didnt want to) consider buying the XFX Pro 850W Core edition (It seems a bit overkill on the wattage  and its more expensive so I would only like to buy this one in case its really really worth it). 

 

Thank you guys for your time!

 

TLDR;

 

Need a replacement PSU for my Corsair CS650M

 

Considering

  • XFX 650W XXX Edition Bronze
  • XFX 850W Pro Core Edition ( I would only like to buy this one in case its really worth it, because I wouldnt want to spend extra money).

Please let me know if I'm not doing adequate choices.

 

Thank you!

All XFX PSUs are made by Seasonic, thus they are fantastic. So go for it! And no, the Pro is not really worth it unless it has some features you want or something.

As long as its not on this list (http://www.johnnylucky.org/power-supplies/psu-lemon-list.html) I assume they are fine.
