New PSU Selection!

Hi im looking forward to buy a new PSU from 2 of them:


1) Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 600W ($60 USD = Rs. 5,100/- PKR)
http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=5906&category_id=30
2) Cooler Master GX-550W ($70 USD = Rs. 6,000/- PKR)
http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6641


TBH im more interested in GX-550W as it has better features like Active PFC, Multiple Protection Design and 80 PLUS Bronze + 44amps on single 12v. These options can be very useful in country like mine where Power-Failure is very frequent and to be used with a UPS. For now they are in my Budget and CM has great repute here + better warranty policy. Please give suggestions and let me know which one should i go for?

If you go with any CM PSU, by all means get the 550W one. A single 12V rail is preferred over 2 or more. Active PFC is a good thing too.
These would be great if available to you. Newegg.com - Computer Hardware, Corsair, Power Supplies, 501W - 600W

Sorry. Shipping would be costly anyway. Check user reviews on what ever you pick.

Is a PSU from the "Real Power" line from CM available in your price range? They're better than the extreme power series in terms of reliability.

For now only eXtreme Series, GX Series and Silent Pro Series available. Idk but i think Real Power series are outdates series but not sure about that anyway.
