See a selling thread at erodov. You can PM the seller over there with your query.

decided on the 500 watt corsair psu.

 

[Sainatarajan]

CX500 or GS500. Anyways both are fine.

Bad choice as 500Watt PSU.

Why man ???

Why man ???

CX500 isn't as good as any other PSUs made by Corsair. (It applicable to all CX series PSUs)
CX500, would eventually work as a effecient ~420-430 Watt PSU.

^^ AFAIK, that was the issue with the 1st generation of CX series. The new CX v2 series has overcome that issue and can actually provide the rated power up to 42/45 degree Celsius. Check the Johnyguru and Kitguru review for CX V2 series

And I read somewhere that new GX series from CM are really very good. They are 80+ Bronze certified too.

but CM GX series costs more than corsair CX series and still I think CX (v2) series is still a little better compared to Cm GX series.

 

[a-raam]

so corsair cx v2 500w psu??

 

[vkl]

^^It's fine.Go ahead.

Still, apart from being VFM, they are not that good, compared to other better ones.
As OP have limited budget, he have very few budget.

but CM GX series costs more than corsair CX series and still I think CX (v2) series is still a little better compared to Cm GX series.

Only GX450 (AFAIK).

GX-550 costs around ~4.6k ( same as GS600) and the CX500v2 Costs at-least 1.2k less. For another eg GX650 costs 5.6k but you can get a TX650 @ ~5.2k - so overall GX series is overpriced.

this is confusing now people.
i am confused so many models and so many versions.

 

[avinandan012]

no need to be confused he is just sharing the fact that, at the same price point GX series is overpriced compared to corsair

^^ yep, you are right anyway, Op should stick with Corsair CX500v2.
