Hi people of the Linus Tech Tips Forum I am new hear and was wondering what PSU is better. 

The 

Antec Neo ECO Classic 550W 80+ Bronze 

Or The

Corsair CX750M 750w Semi Modular Power Supply

I am doing my first Ryzen 5 Build with a 1050 Ti 

Any help would be awesome.

Thanks (:

Why these two specifically? Why not the CX550M?

The reasons why I choose those two mainly are because they are from Umart and are in stock. I am going there tomorrow and would like to buy it then.

I just don't want them failing or worse catching on fire like some people have said in forums witch made me want to ask here first. 

So the CX750M would be ok?

The CX750M is the better choice here, but there's no way that the power supply will be run efficiently due to its size versus the full load of your system.

Both are good brands. For what you're making the 550w of the Antec should be enough. Though if in the future you will upgrade to some more aggresive system you might want the extra power of the Corsair. It depends on your plans for that rigs mostly. 

And of course how much you want to spend.

If it was me, i would go for the Corsair one, since it would give me room to upgrade to a 1070 or 1080 soon and to newer cards in near future.
