Corsair PSU

Would the Corsair CX430 or CX500 be okay for these bits? I'm about to place an order and wanted to check first

Have you looked at the XFX PSU's? The Corsair builder series would do fine but I would check out the XFX range first.

5 Year warranty too

I did have my eye on the XFX 450W Core Edition but the place I'm buying my kit from is out of stock

The CX500 is only £5 more, and the CX430 is the same price. Would it be worth spending the extra £5? I've read theres not much between the two

Don't think the Corsair builder series have a 5 year warranty on them which would swing it for me in comparison to the XFX. Just buy it from OcUK

The XFX is a far better psu. It's built by Seasonic.
