Which PSU should I get?

[Freezanator]

Should I get a Super Flower Fully Modular 550W PSU, a Segotep 80 Plus Gold GP600G 500W Supply Unit or a Corsair VS550 VS Series Power Supply? I am trying to save costs as much as possible. The links of both are provided below. Prices are in Malaysian Ringgit (MYR)

I would get Super Flower. It is ranked TIER 1

 

Never heard of Segotep though

Sketchy power supplies have been known to explode or pop in a pit of fire like some bloodthirsty pyro (sorry, got kinda carried away there).

 

Go with a reliable manufacturer (Corsair is my personal favorite, with their CX series being a great basic power supply), Antec (their EarthWatts is a great option), Cooler Master, Seasonic (cheaper, uglier, but reliable and safe), Silverstone or FSP are all good options. Seasonic and FSP are both original board manufacturers, and other companies (including Corsair, Cooler Master, Antec and Silverstone) will often buy boards from these tier 2 companies to manufacture.

But it seems like its Japanese though and all the good capacitors are Japanese right?

Because it is Japanese doesn't mean you should get it

 

There is no mention of it on PSU whitelist too

What are you trying to power? Not the highest TIER but if you wanna save money then it should work

[Freezanator]

I'm trying to power a build within 500W to 550W

Is TIER 6 reliable enough since that's where the Corsair V Series is

Tier 6 hardly means reliable. It means it's bad.

 

The Super Flower is by far the best choice.

 

BTW, Segotep is a Chinese brand. Not Japanese.

I wouldn't recommend the Corsair VS for anybody with a discrete GPU. Trust me, 30 dollars can go a long way in a PSU and the Super Flower is infinitely better.

Alright then, thanks for your opinion.

Is there a reason why you don't recommend Corsair's VS series to anyone?

It's a garbage PSU. It performs mediocre and is made mediocre.

[Freezanator]

You've used it before?

You don't need to use a PSU to know if it's good or bad. It's actually generally impossible for most home users to test electrical performance and many don't want to void their warranty to look at the quality of the internals.

[Freezanator]

Ok, I'll take your word for it and get the Super Flower. Thanks for your time!
