Corsair CX500M 500W

A 500W unit with 80+ Bronze efficiency certification and semi cabling. 500W covers mainstream builds with a modest GPU. It uses the ATX form factor — confirm your case lists ATX support. Skimping on the PSU is a false economy; better efficiency ratings usually mean better components and longer warranties.

Use the PlanMyPC system builder to verify it works alongside your other components and to watch live retailer pricing. Support and warranty service run through Corsair, with terms that vary by region. The full specification sheet below breaks out every listed detail, and the compatibility checker flags conflicts with parts already in your build.
