Bcoz those lower power PSUs are better than the one u r thinking to buy (CM Extreme Power Plus 500w)... Its not a good PSU at all... Also just take the odd psu out from ur list... :P... i meant to say CX500... Corsair's new CX PSU's are not good(CX430,CX500 & CX600)... Buy what Sumit05 suggested.. MSI HD5770 wid CX400

CX430, CX500, CX600 are not as good as CX400, VX450, VX550 but they seem to be much better than the CM Extreme Power Series and delivers the rated wattage. Efficiency also seems decent (Keep in mind they are not officially 80+ certified)

Conclusions

The Corsair CX430 surprised us a lot. Because it doesn’t have even the standard 80 Plus certification, the manufacturer says it has efficiency “up to” 80%, and Corsair was apprehensive in sending us a reviewing sample (we had to buy this unit ourselves), we were expecting to see a unit with lousy efficiency. However, the CX430 proved to be a terrific entry-level power supply.

It can deliver its labeled wattage at high temperatures, it has a superb voltage regulation (3% regulation instead of the standard 5%, meaning that voltages are closer to their nominal values than necessary), ultra-low noise and ripple levels, and decent efficiency up to 84%. The cable configuration is compatible with an entry-level 430 W unit, and users that need more cables will have to buy a different product.

The only reason we are giving our “Silver Award” instead of “Golden” is the efficiency a tiny bit below 80% when the unit is delivering its 430 W, but it is, still, a highly recommended unit for entry-level systems, especially when you put price into equation: this unit costs only USD 45 bucks and if you hurry you can get a USD 20 mail-in rebate card at Newegg.com, making it to actually cost only USD 25 (yes, INSANE). But pay attention because you have to download a PDF with the instructions on how to get this card when checking out, most people forget to click on the link, get the instructions, and send in the required paperwork.
