GX-550W or SILVERSTONE SST-ST50F-ES

[HAZY]

Hello guys.

This is my Last bet for PSUS. and i have found 2 PSUS that come around my budget. and probably after i m done with choosing between these PSUS. me and my Sleeping **CLUB3D GTX 670 R.Q ** will go on a ride.

Power Supply - Cooler Master GX-550W Power Supply in Pakistan for Rs.7050.00 | Computer Zone this one i m getting for about 5k and this PSU looks so beast and strong but the fact is its got no warranty and its used. its warranty probably ended this month as my Friend says who is selling it to me.

Silverstone this one is for about 5k too but isn't used though got only 3 months warranty only as i have come to know by a nice person here on PG.

so which one is suggested to buy. i m so tight on budget i can spend about 5k for a PSU and both are around 5k.
+ I PERSONALLY WANNA GO FOR GX-550W because a nice friend of mine is selling it to me but for 4.8k so should i buy it would it be nice deal or should i go for a virgin one SILVERSTONE as its also 500w and 80+.

Please help me out with regard with buying PSU and living my dream WITH MY GPU GTX 670!!!

GX550 is overpriced
I head gx series is bekaar, never tried though

Dude, GX 550W won't properly run GTX 670. I don't think it has enough amps.
SilverStone has 34A on 12V Rail. GX550W is overpriced.

What?

GTX 670 is power-efficient GPU with TDP of around 170W (14 Amps).

hes not running the card alone he has cpu fans hdd and other stuff too

 

[LeGenD123]

hes not running the card alone he has cpu fans hdd and other stuff too

And how much power his system is expected to consume on the whole?

300W? 350W?

I doubt that his system will stress GX550W.

To give you an idea:

If the intention is to recommend a high quality PSU to OP; no problem.

However, I have pointed out the error in an assumption here.

Yes but why not buy a PSU which is more powerful and is reliable and future proof. Waisay the GX 550 he's buying is USED. The SilverStone one is brand new and has 34A on the 12V rail and IMO 4.7k is a great price for it.

ya it can run but for 7k gx550 ? but dont really think its a good idea to run a high end gpu on that psu thats what i meant get a better psu.

If You Are Getting GX550 In That Budget......Under 5k.....Go For GX550....Its Quiet Better And Stronger Than Old C.M PSU...Better Reliable Series With More Efficiency....!

On Other Hand Silverstone Can Also Handle Your System Load But Will Probably Run On Its PEAK.....You System With All Stuff On 100% Load requires 450W.....(Calculated Using Power Calculator)

So A 500W Silverstone Can Handle But GX550 Can Handle It More Better As It Got More 50W Along With More Juice On +12A Rail....!

Comparing Both NEW.......Silverstone Takes The LEAD.....But A Good Used GX550 Under 5k Is A Good Deal....!!

Thanks all Brother such a big help and such a kind response. now the things turned out to be very much different.
I m buying this PSU ** http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/f64/power-supply-enermax-fma-ii-156724/ ** From a PG member for about 3k with shipping. and i have talked with him we've almost made a deal and i m almost done buying it. because according to my budget more than perfect PSU. and Brotherly friend of mine referred me this PSU and asked me to buy and his recommendation was enough for me to have confidence for it. but at last i will never forget getting the real advice. plz let me know if this PSU will be good. if not good only FINE AND OK to be chale ga. PLz let me know.

I would have bought cm550w,its a good psu and it's 80+bronze certified also,thats a double treat.

 

[sp20v]

Its Good Enough But No One Knows How Much Life is Left On Its Component......!!

At The End of The Day......Never Compromise On PSU........!! CM Was 9-10 Months Used....And You Know About That......

It Will Work For Sure ...Good In Price But Can't Say Anything On Its Life .....!!

B.t.w The Seller Is Quiet Wise And I Have Strike Deals With Him W/o Any Hesitation..

Silver Stone or FSP, better if u find Antec but remember to utilize "Best Value for Money Sense" :wink2:

"most" of coolermaster PSUs are crap

Cooler masters "most" is not being discussed here only gx550w 80plus bronze certified psu,which is listed in the recommended psu's list on AMD's official website.

Please dont create confusion by posting misleading statements.

 

[sp20v]

GX Series Is Many A Times Better Than Old CM Series As We Say It Before....!

 

[Zeus MK]

Yeah don't be confused. Just Don't by Cooler Master to be safe :wink2:. GX series may not be crap but are mediocre and for the price Corsair VS and FSP Epsilon are so much better
