Hi
I'm building a new office pc out of some old bits but can't decide on which PSU to use.
Seasonic SS-430HB (430w) - Older but a higher quality unit and quieter (spent last few years in storage)
Corsair CX500M (500w) - Still pretty quiet, more recent but dubious reputation.
Spec will be:
i7-2600k (stock)
8GB DDDR3
ATI HD6450 (no PCI Express power connector)
1 SSD
1 HDD
1 DVD
A PSU calculator puts it at 282w and recommends a 320w PSU so both appear to be fine.
I like quiet systems so tempted to use the Seasonic, any reason I should go with the Corsair instead?
