As we don't have a large choice of good brands in Lebanon for PSU I want to ask if Gigabyte is a good and durable choice?
Look at this one:
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3338#kf it's 80+ certified
Or a Thermaltake litepower 600W but it's not 80+ certified??

Personally, I'm getting the Thermaltake litepower 600W, mainly because it has a higher wattage, but the *0 plus does make a difference... in the end it's up to you :D

Iitepower 600w is 80+??
What about Smart SE 630W?

Don't go Litepower for gaming builds.

I have the geforce 650ti boost only,no SLI
Taking the Smart SE is better?

The best performance/price PSUs you'll find here:
1)Thermaltake Power Supply TPX-675M available @ macrotronics for 127.7$.
2)XFX Core Edition PRO 650W available @ pcandparts for 113.3$
*Both prices include VAT.
Both PSUs are 80Plus Bronze, single 12V railed, but the TT PSU has 3 more Amps on its rail (~36W extra) and this awesome PSU is also semi-modular. Definitely the TT PSU worth the extra 13.4$, if macrotronics still has any in stock, you should consider getting one for sure.

CompuWorld has the 750W XFX PSUs in stock too. 80+ Silver, single rail.
And I'd go for the XFX units over the TT anytime.

No corsair in Lebanon??
yasamoka
None that I know of, but Corsair had some QC issues recently so I don't think they're really one of the best anymore.
There are only a few OEMs for PSUs like Super Flower and Channel Well Technologies so bunches of PSUs end up around the same on the inside.

Avoid thermaltake.
Get CoolerMaster (80Plus or above)
Or XFX. Get Gigabyte as a last resort.

Thermaltake Smart SE 630W or XFX P1 550W?
They are both in my budget
shant
Don't buy thermtaltake, their products have quality issues, xfx is solid!
vegetaleb
I know litepower is not good but Smart SE too?
I win +80W with the thermal take for 10$ less
AvoK95
XFX!!!! I got hair on my tongue from posting that XFX makes one of the best PSU's in the market :p
vegetaleb
You are on XFX payroll ;)
AvoK95
No I'm not, XFX is the best brand of PSU you can get here that's all.
yasamoka
Shall I throw in "XFX"?
Guys you will not get better here. If you want to build your gaming systems with Thermaltake PSUs (especially Litepower), be my guest.

I've only heard bad things about XFX products. Me, I'd go with Gigabyte. I got a Gigabyte Pure Odin 1200W and it's been golden. Cooler Master is great, too. And remember to not look at only the watts it carries. Look at how many amps it has on those 12V rails. They are more important in some instances. You should have at least 70-80 amps on all the 12V rails combined for safe measure.
yasamoka
What bad things about XFX? Tell me.
70-80A on the 12V? 1000W effectively? Why?
