Go with the XFX. They are made by Seasonic, cannot go wrong with them!

Doomedspeed · 14 Feb 2013 at 12:34

The cheapest one

They are both greats PSU's. Enermax are a great brand and the XFX's are made by Seasonic (THE bigt gun of PSU's_

You won't regret getting either.

I assume the enermax one you were hinting too was the 525W one? Never seen a PSU with 3 X PCI-E connectors before.. Odd.

You won't go wrong with either psu, Enermax did have a excelent RMA service.

Bacon? · 14 Feb 2013 at 12:44

I'd prolly go for Ernemax myself. Since its modular and the RMA's better, or at least used to be.

zakblood · 14 Feb 2013 at 12:46

for me it would be the cheapest as well, as i'd be happy with either

OH and will the enermax fit in bitfenix prodigy?

Leprechaun312 · 14 Feb 2013 at 15:03

The swift 500w psu for 20 quid best power supplies you can buy...lol personally i'd suggest the XFX as i have no experience with the enermax one

twera · 14 Feb 2013 at 15:19

Oh haha thank god. Well what wattage should I be after? I don't really want to spend much, but I dont want a £20 bomb. Currently the XFX is a bit more than I can afford but I might have to, do I need 550W?

Are any of these good/enough?

I just need 2x6pin for my gpu and the usual others.

Leprechaun312 · 14 Feb 2013 at 15:25

a 550w is the minimum required and it shud do the job, an i5 3570k and 7950 the xfx i believe is 55 quid for a 550w but it is totally worth it

I've taken a liking to the OCZ PSUs of late.
