Why dont you buy it online? You can buy it from theitwares...

Jakob · Jul 2, 2011

I have to return cx430 to my dealer,i dont know if he will give me refund,so as long as he doesnt get cx400 i would have 2 wait or buy another psu from him.

Phenom + 6850, u should get past CX400 & FSP 500..

Corsair VX450 -3.5K is a better buy for ur rig..

Jakob · Jul 3, 2011

r u sure,any psu under 3.5k wouldnt be good?

I would say not safe... VX450 - 3.5K will do the job safely..

Also Antec EarthWatts 500 W ~3.5K

Jakob · Jul 3, 2011

How about cx500-http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027

3k.

CX500 < CX400 in build quality...

And for the record, CX500 is not 80+ certified... Strictly NO GO..

Check the prices of VX450 n Antec EarthWatts 500W, get whichever is cheaper...

P.S : Pls dont compromise on a PSU...

Jakob · Jul 3, 2011

Alright,didnt check on 80+ certification.

DarkAngel · Jul 3, 2011

If you are not able to get a CX400 then you are better off by extending your budget a bit and going for the VX450 or a CM Real Power Pro 460w.

CM Real Power Pro 460w is not a good unit...

@DarkAngel, pls dont suggest real power n extreme power series from Cooler master... they are similar to generic PSUs...

@thegatekeeper, stick to VX450 or Antec EarthWatts 500W, on overloading both the PSUs were able to deliver 570W w/o burning the unit...

Antec EarthWatts 500 W

Corsair VX450W
