I was going to buy the 520 but it seems like everywhere here in the uk is sold out from xmas. I've found plenty of 600ws about though.

I've heard that the 520w is better than the 600 but not why. Anyone care to elaborate? I'm not sure if I should buy the 600 now or wait for the 520.

Stay away from the 600. i have the 520 and i love it. the 600 is not as good as the 520.

The 600 is not as powerful. It is dual rail which isn't as good for really high loads. It's got a little reputation for breaking. It's not bad but there are better alternatives if the 520 is unavailable. Welcome to the forums.
