Verdict

be quiet! Pure Power 12 550W

7.8 / 10 Expert Rating

A quiet, Gold-rated 550W unit that's the right call for mainstream builds that don't need full modularity.

Deepcool PX1000G

8.2 / 10 Expert Rating

Deepcool's PX-G line undercuts most 1000W Gold competitors on price while still hitting ATX 3.0 compliance and a 10-year warranty, making the PX1000G one of the better value picks at this wattage.
