Also Cooler Master GX550W is known for High RMA Rate
I would much rather go for Corsair CX500W or Silverstone Strider Essential 500W
Czone carry some nice Seasonic 500W for RM200 or so,i think that would be best choice

Wow. but if i use the GX series for several months should be ok right? need more time to build up budget for a better PSU.
I have checked silverstone and seasonic as you guys suggested. but I also have my interest with CORSAIR PSU. Im interested with CORSAIR ATX series. Is there any problems with the PSU based from what you guys know?

yesh.. no problem as long as you don't fully load the psu for long time.. the ripple only occur if high load on psu..

Corsair psu is a good quality psu. AFAIK, most of the corsair psu is seasonic PSU, they just rebrand it as Corsair. How good are they is depend which model and wattage you are taking.

Mmm. refering to this setup:

Would it fully load the PSU if I were to use CM GX550? and what do you mean by fully load PSU for long time. Long time as if hours per usage or per months of usage? sorry for asking too many questions. I'm new to this. And this is my first setup. Before this I bought OEM PC.

I see. Thanks for the heads up regarding this. Part of my early plan for future upgrades.

For GX 550, the +12v Rail is providing 44A with 528w
On load which mean the computer is using 528w -/ 20w, in short : 500w ~ 528w

but for your rig, it wouldn't be possible u use 100% usage from ur cpu + 100% of gpu for 24/7 except folding / stressing hardware

Conclusion: You still can use it until ur next upgrade.

Get a Corsair or Seasonic
The Seasonic 500W that Compuzone carry is good for its price and work good enough for your setup

Thank you so much buddy. You have been most helpful in answering my questions. Now I have my confidence to upgrade my PC. There are so many questions linger in my head before this as myself is actually very new in PC upgrades. I have my own target budget and I really hope I don't have to pay more for extra hardware to match the upgraded system's requirement. So i need to plan earlier.

Btw, you are from KK too? Nice.

Thanks bro for your suggestion. I already set my target for corsair ATX series for my future upgrade.

is gorsair gs800 gooding?

Don't forget to try out SilverStone ST500-es.

np.. yea from KK too but now KL
lots of us always miscalculate the psu budget when upgrading spec. In fact, it is the most important things just like human heart

Any sifu here got something bad to say about Tagan PipeRock 1100W TG1100-BZ?

I've tried enermax, silverstone, seasonic, CM brand before. From my personal experience the seasonic one has the least ripple on load when I review it last time. Silverstone RMA service was quite good though

Deciding to buy Corsair HX650 or Seasonic X660, but after that i found out that HX650 is manufactured by Seasonic. lol

Maybe a useful site for PSUs info

is corsair GS600w good enough for Oc-ing intel i52500k and msi gtx560ti hawk?

Hi everyone, hope someone can help me.

I have an EMachine ET1831 with a 250watt Delta DPS-250AB-22E power supply.

Can i replace this psu with another higher watt model. Like 350 watt or higher.

Any recommendations apart from buying a new system?

Thanks....
