Should I get a Evga 450bt bronze or 500w white power supply?

OppositeCube

I'm about to build my new gaming pc.

With a AMD Ryzen 5 1600 , 8gb ddr4 ram and  Gtx 1050 2gb

 

But I'm just currently a little confused.

 

Should I get a PSU with 450 wat, but 85% efficiency. Or a 500 wat but 80% efficiency?

 

This (500wat)  https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-WHITE-Warranty-Supply-100-W1-0500-KR/dp/B00H33SFJU/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1529929158&sr=1-3&keywords=500+watt+psu

 

Or

 

This (450wat)  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N9X3F8F/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

 

I mean, according guys what is worth it? 50 watts extra? Or 5% more efficiency is worth it? (Lol just went into Austin Avan's style)

Neither, both are terrible PSUs (though the 500 w1 is the worse among the two).

Why do you care about efficiency at all? The most important things in a PSU are transient response, ripple, load regulation, protections, longevity of fan and quality of components. You should aim for Corsair CX450 or CX450M at least.

Get a Corsair CX450 instead, it's way better than the 450BT.

Well you know , if I get a PSU with more efficiency it will not waste alot of electricity, ok yes I will definitely get a Corsair CX450 because many people a recommending that to me. Thanks for replying me :)
