Configuration Confusion

[zrslx009]

I am planning to buy an assembled PC. The configurations are:
Intel Core i5-760, Biostar TH55B HD, sapphire Radeon HD 5850 DDR5, Cooler Master Elite 335.

I am confused about the Power supply. which will be the best? Plz suggest with the price. Also suggest about the cabinet.

Go for Corsair VX550. Avoid **** from Cooler master extremepower, zebronics etc.

^why do you say that buddy, Coolermaster has some good stuff, just the extreme series is known to cause issues, else its a good maker.

The GX series are just as bad.

The GX series are just as bad.

that is purely based on 1 review, i think it was at JG that rated it bad, here is one that says its good, we just jump to conclusions too fast IMO:

Cooler Master GX 750W Power Supply Test Results :: TweakTown USA Edition

JG didn't told, GX to be bad. it proved, GX isn't any good. so if someone thinking that the caps used or the internal parts used is ok for him, he may go with GX. but i feel CM is straying from the quality line of PSU it was famous for. also when you pay 4.5k+ for a PSU, its considered a premium PSU. not something that will have multiple points under the "con listing".

 

[rajan1311]

But I dont think its as bad as the Extreme series, also, never seen any members reporting problems with that PSU too.

yes not that bad but as i told, for that cost, a Corsair unit if far far safe & better.
