I am looking at the CX450M power supply, is it any good? Is there anything better in that price range? (I can get this one in my country for 56$)

New CX series are pretty decent. I'd go for it, although what is the hardware you're powering? High-end stuff should warrant spending a bit more on your PSU.

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

Before everyone jumps on the CX series bashing wagon, let me ask: What are the specs of your system? The new CX series are at least decent, but if you're using top end components, I would consider investing more on a better quality unit.

Never thought I'd see the day where I saw a post by you feature "CX" and "decent" in the same sentence :P

But yeah, the 2015 ones aren't terrible.

No, I mean like the CX450/550, etc, the ones without green on them.
