Budget Indian Gamers, Avoid Corsair VS Series PSUs at all cost

Corsair Budget PSU LineUp, VS Series Power Supplies are complete garbage. They might be cost effective but not even worth a single penny. I have heard numerous complaints from people having random reboot issues with these units. Avoid them at all costs, a much better alternative is Circle PSU which provide much better quality at similar price range. I see so many people buy Circle Cases for their PC builds but most of them ignore the potential of their PSUs.

I have owned a Corsair VS450 PSU unit which started giving me random reboot isues just under 4 months of moderate usage, while my current Circle 500W PSU is doing really well for more than 2 years. I can't tell much you how much i suffered due to random restarts issue due to this poor quality Corsair unit, it drove me nuts for more than one and a half year (oct. 2014-Apr 2016).

In early May 2016 i got this Circle 500 Watts APFC PSU which looked quite impressive right from the start, the cables looked premium though little disappoiting as no other than motherboard 24-pin connector had sheilding but that's acceptable at this price range and quality it possess. One of the best i liked about this PSU is 24-pin motherboard connector was quite slick and plugs easily in socket without using much force which isn't present in even some of the most high end PSUs.

So guys my conclusion is, if you are on a tight budget and want a long lasting quality psu and better life for your pc. Look nowhere else and get any 80+ bronze Circle PSU, earlier their PSUs (when i bought it back in 2016 they didn't 80+ certified units) but now they have quite a few of them. They have a good range of 450W-700W units which would serve you well.
