Those are both great power supplies and I love the blue light but will the power be enough to overclock and remain stable ?

I would personnaly take a lower wattage, higher quality brand name PSU than a high wattage PSU from a 'known to kinda suck' name.

Besides, not many people NEED 500Watts. 😉

I would take the Fortron/Antec 350W over the 500-600W Raidmax/iBest any day of the week. Those supposed 500-600W PSUs are probably closer to 200W

follow AverageGuy's advice... RAIDMAX truly suck, i know from working on a friend's comp...

Fortron looks like the pick after reading the reviews, the fan control and blue led fan make it a cool pick!

I agree with the other responses. Avoid those brands and get an Antec or Enermax PSU.
