The Cooler Master one, because the Dell one is probably that ugly grey colour, but either way, both PSU's are shoddy 500W units,

Neither are that good....The Turbo Cool is really old. And the Cooler Master goes out of spec on high loads 75%+ but the CM should handle that rig fine. Don't OC that CPU too much though, the power consumption skyrockets on those the higher you OC them. Overall I'd recommend a new PSU
