Is it worth getting a quality psu or just get a no name psu which is cheaper? If it's worth it, could you recommend one which is around 500 watts? Thanks in advance.

Ofcourse you are to get a quality PSU, but high price and quality isn´t the same.

Many expencive psu´s can be bad and cheap can also be very good.

When deciding, try read reviews of the PSU you are to get.

I don't really have time to check if they are still about but I can highly recommend Ultra power supplies if you have a modded case with a window, if not I can also equally highly recommend a decent PSU made by Seasonic

I definetely wouldn't go with Ultra. I've heard a lot of bad things about their PSU's.

The PSU I linked is very solid and it should work very well.

Any of the Corsair power supplies would be a great buy. If you have a little bit of extra money you could go with any of the PC Power & Cooling products, they are normally "the best of the best" but do cost a bit more.
