Long story short my PSU's dead and I need the cheapest possible replacement. Here are my specs:

65nm Intel Pentium dual-core (E2160)
ASUS G41 chipset motherboard
Kingston 2GB DDR3 RAM
XFX 9600GT
2x 7200RPM hard-disks
1x optical drive.

Here are the products I've picked out from the Galaxy store in order of ascending price:

http://www.thermaltake.com.au/Products/PowerSupply/W0316/Litepower500W.aspx
http://www.corsair.com/power-supply-units/builder-series/builder-series-cx430.html

I need advice on these specific models if anyone has any of them currently or used to, as in how well they handled the load, reliability, any sound issues etc. Need info quickly since I'm planning on buying the replacement unit tomorrow.

Thanks in advance.

Any cheap ass China can handle that system without any issues.

But if you want to buy the best out of the ones you mentioned, I'd say go for Antec 430W.

But as I said, ANY good 400W china PSU can run it easily.

@Thread Opener u got a very great upgradeable setup there if u dont want to upgrade anytime soon then go ahead with any cheap psu as stated above but if u want a good good gpu + cpu then get corsair one it will be good with a quad core and a gtx 460/560 :p

brother you are using a 9600gt and a dual core pc setup this means that your pc consume about 200-300w of power so it is better to get a branded power supply so it will help you in future too if you upgrade your pc in future. get a branded 400w (any brand but not china) psu. and you are good to go. and if you want to purchase a new psu then purchase xigmatek 400w in 3500 from iamextreme.net

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
