Im about to get my pc parts... The problem is psu. Im not good at choosing right gaming psu.

I calculated how many W all my parts would take ... It was 260-300 so i wil get a psu on 500w

Its between Be-Quiet Pure Power 9 CM 500W VS Silverstone SFX SX500-LG 500W

Btw im building a Matx pc i want it to be as cleen as possible

Wich psu is best for gaming and eont burn out?

The Be-Quiet is not very good at all. The Silverstone is a lot better and I would go with that.

All Silverstone SFX PSUs are good so I'd grab that one.

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

They are pretty darn loud though under load. 

 

Just fyi. 

 

Consider the new Corsair sfx psus instead which use a larger fan to be about 5-10 dB quieter at load.

I've used a gold-rated one before and can't remember hearing it but if the bronze ones are loud or if we just weren't putting our PC under enough load to set the fan alight then I guess you can go for the Corsair ones cuz they're apparently quieter.

True enough, i dont know if the wattage he is looking at will be enough to make it loud. I just know that JonnyGuru found the Corsair model quieter at all loads and if I remember correctly they cost basically the exact same.
