Choosing the right PSU

[Hitman001]

After my CX500w died on me i had to choose between two powersupplies :

Xilence 480W redwing.
and the second one is the Advance ATX-5100 480w also, it came with my case

No i can't choose any other ones.

So which of those two is the best to power these 2 builds :

G620 2.6 ghz
6770
1 HDD

or

C2D 7200
8800 GT
1 HDD

If the xilence will power the G620 build the advance would power the other and vice versa.

Have you considered getting your CX500 fixed/replaced under warranty?

Those are both worse than a CX500.

No i can't fix it, i lost some of the things it came with, and yes i know they are both worse, but i can't get anything else than those two.
I am currently using the advance one it has been running for a couple of months now and it is working with no problem even at 100% load. So should i replace it with that one? so that this advance powers up the 8800GT

By 100% load you probably mean your PC is at 100% load, not the PSU. Those PC's don't draw more than 150-200 watts, so even a mediocre 400 watt unit should work.

It doesn't really matter which unit you put in which PC. Since you currently have the Advance unit installed in one rig I wouldn't bother moving it

I'm curious about where you're located if there are no other units available.

I am located in Morocco, north Africa, it's a shithole in here, the cheapest PSU i can get my hands on currently is the advance one for 30$ and for the double i can get an antex 520w
But i don't have that kind of money.
The xilence costs about 20$.

Alright. Get whichever unit has the longer warranty
