A good 500w+ psu for 100usd or less

[Jonas0403]

Hello,
I'm trying to find a good psu but it's very hard. Some people say I can trust tier lists and some say I can't.
What i'm trying to find is a good 100usd 550w psu (also not too loud). I myself have a seasonic S12-II 620W but they aren't in stock here in Norway right now. Does anyone know any other good psu under 100usd? Prices are higher here in Norway..
Ive tried to look for other seasonic models such as m12-ii and the seasonic G series. Can't find any..

Is the "XFX TS 550W-SEW" good? What about the "Antec High Current Gamer"?

Thanks

PS: The build is for a friend. I'm not buying a new one to switch out my current

hey if you post a website link I help you look

if that xfx ts is gold its better than the bronze because its a newer platform, otherwise it is basicly the same , both units are based on the seasonic gb platform

Great suggestion , but it's not in stock . And a bit too expensive. I would like something around 800nok.

The only place where it is in stock is in the store PROSHOP where I dont want to buy it from. (High prices, never bought from them before etc)
Here is a picture explaining when it's in stock:

Decent psu, way below your max budget , in stock a few places.

The xfx ts550 (bronze) is also a good unit if available.

Those looks good, ill check out some reviews on those

EDIT: The Corsair CX is the grey version right? I see a lot of different reviews on it so still not sure.
Just post if anyone have any more suggestions.

Very expensive but is this worth it: https://www.komplett.no/product/887166/datautstyr/pc-komponenter/stroemforsyning/enheter/fractal-design-edison-m-650w-psu#

^ no , not when you can get a gq650 for 120 krone less.

That's a great PSU.

There is nothing wrong with the CXm though on a budget , it has a 5 year warranty for a reason.

That 650W one looks very nice. I may choose that. Still not sure though. Thanks for all the help. I got to go rn but I will be back soon.
Thanks

Edit: after reading the full johhny guru review i decided to buy this. Although its a bit overkill with the watts. Thanks for all the help

hey im not sure if im too late but consider: https://www.komplett.no/product/959103/datautstyr/pc-komponenter/stroemforsyning/enheter/seasonic-focus-550w-85-gold-psu?offerId=KOMPLETT-310-959103#

double the warranty of the GQ 5->10
supports the latest protections

I mean the GQ isnt bad by any means but if you buy it brand new I would get the focus

I talked with my friend and he actually wanted to not use too much money so I decided to buy the Corsair CX550M.
Thanks for the recommendation though.
