The GX 450 and all the units in the new Cooler Master "V" series are the only ones know of that I would recommend without hesitation. Otherwise, they are mediocre in terms of performance. PSU performance is mostly about delivering the rated wattage, voltage regulation and noise/ripple control. Cooler Master, aside from the ones I already mentioned, tend to not offer good noise/ripple control on one or more voltage rails.

Thermaltake too, makes mediocre units. They'll deliver the rated wattage, but noise/ripple and perhaps reliability are also a be under par; the latter is due to capacitor selection.

Are you stuck with this particular vendor or are you able to use a different one with a better selection of units? Off the top of my head, Seasonic makes good units

The Cooler Master states "more than" 70% efficient. The Thermaltake is rated 80+ efficient so I would go with the higher efficiency rated psu the Thermaltake.

the thermaltake is an entry level psu. on a review i read on the thermaltake, the +5vsb output presented +4.72 v during full load test, a number that is below the mininum allowed. even though this unit can present efficiency above 80%, officially, it does not have the 80 plus certification, so the manufacturer couldn,t claim 80 plus certification or use the 80 plus logo....

don,t know much about the coolermaster...

as a rule, you get what you pay for in psu,s...and certain brands instantly speaks quality..when you buy a cheap psu, it means they have left some parts out in the build, and used cheaper components.

Why you would possibly want to buy from them defeats me, their prices are way overblown.
