Hi, so I need to buy a PSU for my system and have found three that seem really nice. Now, I don't care about wattage as my system needs 400W at most, but about quietness. Which one will be the quietest?

-bequiet! System Power 8 500W

-Corsair VS Series 450W

-EVGA 600W

Thanks in advance guys.

 

 

I need S340. But more Define S'ish

None of those are good PSUs they are low quality and not meant for gaming. I would go with this instead.

Corsair VS is garbage. 

I think the System power L8 is garbage 

I am guessing the EVGA unit you are talking about is the W1 which is also garbage. 

 

What are you powering? 

What is your budget? 

Where are you from?

I know they are not the highest quality, but look, they are fine, if you can find me anything better for less than $60 then please do so.

The EVGA NEX-G is overpriced and not very good, not a good option. It is also in a very different budget to low end PSUs.

The B2, G2, GS, GQ, P2, PS and T2 are all great units, but that is half the story. 

EVGA isn't perfect, the have the "N1", "W1", NEX-B, B1, B2, NEX-G and G1, ranging from do not touch to overpriced and not very good.

Tbh, that's not even good. NEX = G1 = Bad. There's a useful list btw which lots of people follow (@Allshevski):

Except EVGA Supernova is twice the price of any of them. So yeah, I'm happy with VS quality really, I know I shouldn't cheap out on PSUs but come on... I think I will go with the bequiet! one. It has the same yate loon fan as VS 450 but looks overall nicer, black cables and stuff, without that restrictive fan grill. And yeah, I can always swap the fan for something nicer.

 

Edit: Just. Fffin. Stop. My system is the cheapest ATX motherboard I could find half a year ago, cheapest RAM, HDD ripped out of my PS4 because I didn't have money, GPU is crappy GTX 960 WF2 because it was the cheapest GPU I could find, only thing I really care about is my case, my fans and my CPU cooler. Plus I can take the risk of my PSU violently exploding and killing my family. It's fine.

I would go for a Corsair 450 or 550 watt CXM. Both should be under $60 and are unbeatable for their price.

The CX450M is in your price range and is better than any of the options you listed. The Corsair VS and EVGA 600W white unit are both poor and the System Power L8 isn't supremely good either. The CX450M is certainly a better buy.
