Sharkoon vs EVGA

[Windows10Home]

I wondered if I should get the EVGA 430W 80 Plus PSU, or the Sharkoon WPM500 80 Plus Bronze.

CPU: i5 6500

MoBo: Gigabyte B150M-D3H mATX
SSD: Kingston SSDNow 120GB V300

HDD: Seagate M8 1TB

GPU: Gigabyte GTX 960 4GB OC Windforce 2X (The little one that has blue edges)

Neither, save up for an EVGA 550w, that sharkoon will probably explode and the EVGA 430w won't have enough power.

The EVGA would be a better choice because they have better reputation, and 430W should be enough for your system, but a 500W or 600W would give you more headroom if you want to OC your gpu.

Honestly? Neither, both are very poor quality and should not be powering a GTX 960.

 

Aim for a SeaSonic or XFX 500W (with the exception of the XT series - don't get that).

 

BTW, that Kingston V300 is not that good. I would change it if you haven't got it already.

Replace that SSD with an A-DATA SP550.

 

Replace the GPU with an R9 380

 

Put an XFX TS or Seasonic S12 in system.

 

Boom.
