which one to buy Brothers. so big big big confusion. Gonna run my sleeping baby GTX 670. which one will be good performace-wise, deal-wise, and price-wise * Which PSU is better in terms of these 3 qualities *

Thanks already Guys..... today is my PSU purchasing day i have just broken down have been having my dreams in my hands but just one freaking PSU hold me back from living my dream and running my PSU. for an extreme gamer it should be less than the worst nightmare he's had when he's having his first ever gpu in life, and fastest GPU in the world, craved died and struggled deadly for the thing and now despite having it unable to use it unable to live the dream being so close. just wanna send the money out and wanna have a PSU and make dreams come true.

Among these I'd prefer Silverstone. But I think you should get a bigger PSU, something like 700-800Watts. You'd want to have a PSU of double capacity than the normal requirement of the system, for increased efficiency, less heating and thus longer life.

700-800 watts for that setup?!

Are you kidding me dude ! :eek:
Look at his system specs mate. He barely requires a 500W PSU. BARELY!

@OP, any good 500W psu will suffice, dude!

If I were you, I'd go for the Silverstone PSU. It's a solid PSU and Silverstone make components for a lot of other vendors.

The GX550 is a crap PSU so stay away from it. I'm not sure about the Enermax one. Haven't looked it up before.

Hmmm I guess I wrote it wrong. I didn't mean to imply that he needs a 700-800W, but a larger PSU, runs quiter, cooler and thus survives longer because of the smaller load. I repeat you do not NEED a larger power supply. But because of the features I mentioned, it would be preferable. (Of course one needs to keep in mind if his wallet can support any such vices :p)

Is it? I've always believed heat, quality of input power(voltage, frequency, waveform), quality of components used and luck(which inludes things like workmanship, environment, degree of physical abuse, accidents etc) to be the factors effecting the life of a PSU.

They do but the fortune you spend on an 800W psu when your need is 400W is not worth the age gap. Hardware maxed out OR with loads of headway will die one day regardless of how well it is kept, or how under-max-potential is was used. Yes, later than sooner, but opportunity cost time spent with the psu vs anything else you could've bought with hypothetically twice the amount.

That's, not entirely, though, but like installing 16 gigs of RAM in todays PC saying it'd increase their age since they'd be stressed less.

Secondly, the age depends more on the quality of components than the wear-and-tear at peak. Since it's practically a very efficient transformer, it working on peak (i.e efficient peak; whatever is the PSUs most efficient output state at the *adjusted* temperature) would enable it to last long enough.

Lastly, buying a new 500W is a much better deal than adding money and buying a used 700W.

Yea its a subjective thing if the price is worth the benefit for that particular person. Hahaha of course getting a used 700W would increase risk of malfunction, exactly what we were intending decrease.

Silverstone, get it.
THe 670 is such a effecient gpu 500w is fine for it.
Just because it's a 'divorced' psu doesn't mean it's not a 'virgin'. Just saying. ;)
Buy a "virgin" psu instead of a "divorced" one.
Silverstone gets my vote

THANKS BROTHERS. i certainly had really helpful and wise suggestions. and i haven't purchased the PSU yet. by the way i really appreciate the each direction made for me and each guidance considered for me. i myself wanted to go for a nice and expensive PSU. but the GUY who's selling me out has pretty reasonably explained me and has provided me a week checking warranty. so the fact is i plan on putting it on its peeks and tests and all that and if i find something wrong with this PSU like crashing and restarting or anything wrong** which i don't think i will** i m gonna return the supply. And another reason i wanna go for this PSU is that i can't hold on the view of my QUEEN LYING back there on my bed. i just can't stand the fact that i m having my dreams in my hands and due to some reason and hindrances i can't live it i just can't help being anxious and excited about it and its my first GPU ever in life ** so you have some idea what i should be going through **. so to put me outta misery i gotta take this step since i've been satisfied by the seller TO a great extent. and i hope it will run good its sli certified and 80+ the only fact is it isn't available in Pakistan, its been awarded by TWEAKTOWN as i last night stumbled across that review with the help of @
Baghi however i admit its old make

you might want to go for 600+ psu IMHO. PSU is not something you change everyday and with time the power demand for your peripherals might increase not decrease.
