pavilion p7-1070t
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

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.

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