The EVGA one, more reputable brand for PSUs than Thermaltake and costs more and has 80+ efficiency.

 

EDIT: Costs less lol

Neither to be honest.

EVGA.


For power supplies, I prefer Seasonic (gold standard for reliability, and expensiveness), Corsair, EVGA. Also I stick with 80+ bronze or better

Well they are the cheapest brands I know

Definitly avoid the thermaltake one, efficiency of less than 80%, it's just a huge NO. The EVGA one is at least certified to be 80+. Never, ever cheap out on a psu, If it fails and fries the whole system you have a really bad day.

Fair enough, check the other thread you made though, made a build suggestion on there.

EVGA W1 500.

But please spend more money on a better power supply. The XFX PRO550 is only $55, and the EVGA GQ 650 is $70, and that's about 1.6 times as much for the XFX for much better quality than the EVGA.

Go with the EVGA 500B. It has the 80+ Bronze efficiency

use thermaltake PSUs personally for my own builds, but dont get that one. its not even modular from the looks of it.

Neither. Both are not good. For one thing, you can grab an I3-6100, a Gigabyte GA-H110M-A, and DDR4 for a similar price. Then you can get a cheaper mouse. Lastly, put that money into a better quality PSU like the Seasonci S12ii 520W.
