hi sifus , can i seek your advice.... which psu should i choose ? both are the same price since i'm getting a used unit.... My rig is I3 4150, 8Gb ram, 2 hdd, msi gtx 670....

1: CM 550W 80+ gold http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/si...-pro-gold-550w/
2: gigabyte 720W psu 80+ bronze http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-p...spx?pid=2793#kf

hopefully the 550w psu can save my electric bill as it's gold standard...
gtx 670 recommends 500w and above...

I've no idea how good is the CM Silent Pro Gold 550W,there's no review that shows and names of the capacitors inside.

What''s the Gigabyte PSU?

gold vs bronze - the savings on your electricity bill is so negligible you can't even quantify it properly.

and are you sure you can get the Silent Pro Gold 550W for RM 150?

oh say so la. biggrin.gif RM 150 for that CM gold, if new I will go buy a few units already.

Given the options you provided, I'd say CM gold.
