Need new PSU

My Seasonic S12 II 520 has died recently and I need a new PSU, I checked the local market and they have Corsair CX500 for Rs. 4700 and Antec VP500 for Rs.4000. I don't play games anymore so I sold my GPU as well so I won't need much. Please suggest from the two listed.
1. Corsair CX500@4700
2. Antec VP500@4000

My configuration is as follows:
Intel i5 4570
Gigabyte B85M D3H
Corsair Vengeance 4 GB DDR3 RAM 1600 MHz
Western Digital Blue 1 TB
Dell S2240L 21.5"
[STRIKE]Seasonic S12 II 520 Bronze

^Antec vp550

Corsair's low end PSUs are all very average. Antev VP is the better choice.

BTW what happened to your SS? How long did it last? We don't often hear about Seasonics dying.

Thanks, I have purchase the VP as of now and regarding the Seasonic PSU I have purchase from Itdepot.com back in 2014. I have sent a mail regarding the same and warranty seems to be valid so I will try to claim for the warranty. It just went off while my dad was playing games so I really don't know much to say about what happened.
