Which psu is better?

[Technicolor]

I've looked on newegg for psu and which company do you think is better? Evga or corsair ?and which one is more reliable and last longer and have a good company rating 

[RadiatingLight]

Don't shop by company.

 

both corsair and EVGA make really good PSUs, and both corsair and EVGA make really bad PSUs.

Shop by product, not company.

[NerdyNoob]

They're both good brands. I would go with corsair, but that's due to me being a fanboy of them. Honestly, it depends on the spefic power supply and not the company, well in this case atleast.

Don't buy by the company, buy by a specific unit. Both EVGA and Corsair have terrible and great units and they don't even manufacture their own units.

 

Give us a budget and I'll see what PSU would suit you best.

EVGA has good units, Corsair has good units, generally at a slight price premium. I'm OK with either just as long as you're buying their decent units. They both have mediocre PSUs.

Not exactly a budget... The Corsair CX450M and the Seasonic S12II 520 are both good options. The former is "better".

 

If I may, I have a few other suggestions for your build:

 

-Scrap the cooler (use the stock one) and lower the motherboard to a H170 or B150. You're not overclocking. Save the money and put it towards a SSD. Preferably a 120GB one at the very least.

-Get the RX 480 4GB instead of the GTX 1060 3GB. More VRAM and a better card overall.

-If you're going ahead with the i5 7500 and a H170/B150 mobo, you may need a BIOS update. It'd be best if you got a B250/H270 motherboard or a i5 6500 instead.

@HKZeroFive is a i5 6400 compatible with the z170-e?

It is, but the i5 6500 is better value and you don't need a Z170 motherboard unless you plan on BCLK overclocking, upgrading to a K-chip in the future or using fast memory. I'd save the money and put it somewhere else by getting a cheaper H170/B150 mobo.

@HKZeroFive and isn't the i5 6500 a sky lake processor and is ok with the sky lake z170-e?

It's fine but the Z170 mobo is a waste of money if you're not planning on doing one of the things I've listed above.

I honestly think the stock cooler is good enough but meh. I consider the beQuiet! PURE ROCK to be a better alternative to the Cooler Master 212 EVO though.

there are low profile options from beQuiet and cryorig I have put a link to them below but if it isn't your taste   then if you want power  and silence  go with the beQuiet pure  rock it may be a bit more pricey but it is worth it.

Pls state your question. 

Manufacturers aint no PSU, they are companys.

 

And every big one has utter crap and real good stuff in their lineup...

Every company makes good PSU's but if you want an answer to your question then corsair makes good PSU's, this  is my opinion though other people's  preferences may vary. all in all both companies have different qualities.

 

hope this helped you find a good PSU.

It's not like the EVGA (SF made) Units are any worse by the way...

I don't think that you should ever look at which PSU is better but rather which PSU would best suit my needs.

 

Like if you know that you are going to build a really Xtr3m3 build with all the tats and whatnot, then it might be smart to select a PSU with a lot of wattage.

 

And then sometimes you might need to take into account if there is a theme, some are very precise when it comes to this others aren't.
