[somerandomguy12]

Hi guys,

I've found a great deal on the CX550M (£52) but I can't find any reviews for it.

Apparrently it is there new 2015 grey lineup or something like that anyway, should I get it?

What is your system specs? Are you certain that you have enough power with a 550W?

I would also recommend the Corsair RM series.

This is my plan:

RX 480,

intel 4460

12GB ram

1 tb hard drive

 

that should amount to around 310w

Those will get to around 175W under load so have no worries. The CX550M is even overkill for your system. If the 450M is drastically cheaper then grab that.

So the CX...M series is fine as the normal CX doesn't have the best reputation right?

The new grey-unit CXM series is really quite good. Far better than the green units so you're good.
