Hello everyone,

I'm going to build a new system. I asked before if I should keep my old PSU (it was a Corsair HX620W) but I found that it was the right time to sell my old system (wich you'll still find in my profile). I sold it and now I'll slowly, in one month maybe, buying my new rig. It does not matter that much right now about the spec but here it goes:

Ryzen 5 1500X
MSI TOMAHAWK B350
16GB Ripjaws V 3200CL16 (I know, they won't work as fast as 2400)
RX480 4GB Nitro+
1TB HDD Barracuda
4x 140mm Fans

I plan to upgrade such system in the future, but nothing to fancy that could required more power than it already would. Soooooo...... the question is:

Should I go for the Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 650W or the Corsair RM650x?

Thermaltake: US 159,00
Corsair: US 198,00

PS: it's a price conversion from REAIS (Brazil).

I did read about both series and both got good evaluation. Corsair is undoubtedly superior. Value for money the Thermaltake wins it. Still I'd really like to have a opinion from you guys.

Thanks a lot!

SOLVED. Corsair wasn't available anymore so I got the Thermaltake one.

Can't do much right now as I already bought it :fear:.... Still the reviews for it were pretty good and it has a 10-Year warranty.
