PSU $$$ or $
04-15-2021 07:30 PM

I am looking to upgrade my PSU.
I can spend $64 on an ATX Corsair 500W, or spend $38.90 on Bestec 500W.
They both have sleeve bearings, plenty of cables, and correct size.
My Bestec that came with the PC is still working very quietly, and is 10 years old.
I just need more power for a GPU that I want to add.
The corsair states the efficiency at 80+ the Bestec says nothing.
Again, I am not a gamer, just some color editing, and mainly to get my full 1440 res, on my display.

Hello
difficult to choose for you.
Corsair is a big reputable brand, the other I don't know ..
Personally, I would rather take the corsair if indeed it is suitable

A bios update is not without risk!
Be aware that if you are offered to do so, it will be at your own risk, the computer may become unusable, think about it
