Do you already own that CPU and GPU? Or are you buying a PC?

What country?

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

cx450m or cx550m are great and really cheap on newegg right now

why m? the CX550 is $50 and the CX550m is over $60, you could get a regular CX650 for that.

 

m is bad.

Yes i have them.
i'm from Colombia 

Then we have no idea what your local stores have

Just check the PSU Tier list
 

Seasonic is usually a safe bet

cxm series was just an example for the averidge user around here. anything tier 3+ will do for your build. I would personally get a (semi-)modular psu for that price, it will make cable management easier later on

Let's play spot the person who has never used a CXM PSU.

 

Wait, that was easy.

The CX is different from the CXM. It has updated, slightly better performing internals, and a better fan.

>magically expecting a modular interface to cost the same as when everything is soldered in

10/10 that's some 500000IQ shit there.

@aezakmi

Its only modular? That was the whole point of saying it. A non-modular psu is way harder to cablemanage

As far as I know the only difference is the modularity. What you discribe is the difference between the old and the new version, but then lightly

The CXM 2015 and CX 2017 use completely different designs. For example, the CX uses an LLC resonant converter whereas the CXM used the simple double-forward topology. We also see a rifle bearing fan as opposed to sleeve.

If modularity isn't a must, the Corsair CX is the better power supply.
