Hello everyone!

I have a gs600 (not the newer edition) my system is:

i5 3570k @stock

coolermaster hyper 212 evo

maximus v gene

wd blue 500gb

2x4gb corsair vengeance

hd7770

and i have been offered the chance to exchange my current psu for a brand new cx600m for free, is the actual output as good as my current output? mine is only 80 plus and the cxm is 80 plus bronze, almost silver but i heard the amps were lower, how does that affect me? other advantages: its modular and has beautifully sleeved cables but no led which doesnt REALLY affect me.

thank you for your attention

I would not, but depending on how many loose cables you have, and how much you care about cable management, you could. It is definitely not as good of a PSU.

I think the GS600 would be more reliable than the CX600m imo.
