Question Buying a new PSU (old one blew up)

[MustardMan05]

Buying a new PSU, as my old Corsair VS650 exploded within a day of use,

I have a budget of just under $70 for a new PSU

PC specs are,
AMD ryzen 2600
Nvidia GTX 1060
1x16GB corsair Vengence Ram
1x2TB Seagate hardrive

Need to squeeze a little more for the budget if you want to get a good PSU.
this is $95 before the mail in rebate

a 550w version is available, but it's only $1 less.



Or this, but it's also $95 before the rebate which brings it down to $71, and 550W from a high quality power supply is plenty for your system

EDIT: side note - 1x16GB RAM is a bad idea. Your system is only running in single channel mode for RAM because of that, which hurts performance.

Is it "old" or "a day old"?

You mean you just bought it and it died in a day or you put an old PSU in a new build and it died in a day?

A GTX1060 will run on a quality psu like the Seasonic focus gold 450w:

Consider busting your budget a bit for 550w to allow for a bigger future gpu upgrade.

Do not repeat your original mistake by buying a budget psu, buy only quality.
Corsair VS is tier 5/6 on this list.
