What PSU would you choose from this selection?
This setup is not exceptional, yet it fits my budget constraints.
I have never experienced a Corsair PSU failing, even on their lower models.
I've used several Thermaltake "Smart" series PSUs and they seem to offer good value for the price. I've also tried an Antec NEO and it's still functioning well in its installation. I'm not familiar with Kolink or Cheiftec products.
EVGA's entry-level models are generally not reliable, especially the "white" range. I haven't used a BQ but doubt it would be a strong choice.
There are many factors to weigh when choosing a PSU—considering the cost of components versus the risk of failure and potential need for replacement parts. If you're comfortable with that trade-off...
I also prefer opting for a slightly higher rated capacity than what's recommended for specific parts when managing a budget.
