Be Quiet or Corsair?

[Busconian]

Upgrading my system to an i5 6500 and 1060 and my current PSU is not great..... I got 2 options but does not matter too much, both should work fine.

 

Be Quiet!: http://www.ncix.com/detail/be-quiet-pure-power-9-66-130555.htm

 

Corsair: http://www.ncix.com/detail/corsair-cx-series-cx550m-550w-5e-125718.htm

 

Be quiet has a better rating and more watts but is it worth the $10 extra bucks? My guess it would be worth it, good or bad experiences with anyone? 

 

Thanks. (Feel free to suggest others $100 CAD limit)

Go for the EVGA Supernova G2 650 or something like that. The supernova line G/B/P/T 2 line from EVGA are rebranded superflower PSUs which are regarded as the best in the business by some. They should be cheaper than corsair as well

not the G1 mate, the G2 something like this:

As a rule of thumb, you might want to overspend a little on your PSU as it pretty much supplies your entire system. But the trigger is yours to pull

I have heard good things about all the choices I got. Maybe if I got the extra cash I might go for that one who knows.....

The G1 is very poor value. The GQ and GS are better if the G1 is more in your price range.

Then get the EVGA B2. Again, don't buy the G1.
