Hi guys, need help chosing the best PSU I can get for my money right now.

 

I have some options:

1) Antec VPF 550W - 63€

2) XFX TS 550W - 70€

3) Seasonic Eco Series 430W - 43€

4) Enermax MaxPro 600W - 60€

5) Corsair VS650W - 60€

 

 

Gonna have an i3-6100 + r7 360 (graphics card will be updated 1 year from now to a stronger one).

 

 

Help me chosing one, im in a budget right now, every penny counts. Best choice for the money having everything I posted in mind?

 

 

Thank you

XFX is by a long shot better than any of the rest but they're all pretty OK for a 360.

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

The Enermax MaxPro 600w and Corsair VS650 are the worse of the bunch - both being based on an entry level design from CWT - GPM platform.

 

XFX TS Gold or TS Bronze?

TS Gold is an Seasonic S12G unit internally, which offer higher efficiency and better internals than the other units.

TS Bronze, on the other hand, is based on the old group-regulated Seasonic GB platform (S12II-B 380-620).

 

If the Antec is VPF450, not VP450F (Seriously, Antec? WTF is with that naming scheme...), I would go with it over all the other units being a Delta build unit with DC-DC, unless the XFX is the Gold version of the TS.

Just bought de XFX TS550 Bronze for 65€. Hope I did the best choice.

 

Thank you for the help.
