I need help choosing the right power supply for my build I can list all the websites down here from which you can choose the best one

https://www.primeabgb.com

http://bwindia.net

Amazon India

Mdcomputers.in

These are the four sites from where I got my PC build..

I’m looking for 400-500w not more than that plus I’m also on a budget

It should not exceed 3.5k

I suggest you to extend your budget a bit. The only OK PSU for the price is the Corsair VS550. Which isn't a stellar performer.

I would recommend you this:
https://www.primeabgb.com/online-price-reviews-india/antec-vp550p-550w-power-supply/

All other PSUs are kinda inferior to this for the price range.

Its not great as far as efficiency goes. But the Antec has Japanese capacitors with respect to the Chinese Capacitors on the Corsair vs 550, The Antec offers much better proposition for nearly the same cost.

Yes, I saw that too. Its 80+ white(Same as corsair VS550).

Since there's no 80+ bronze power supplies in this budget range its better to get a higher wattage PSU just to get better efficiency and upgradability .

These PSUs perform their best when under 80% of their maximum capacity. Buying a 550W will give a little more breathing room.

I couln't find it in the stores.

So here it goes:

Priority 1 : 550W 80+ bronze (good brand)
Priority 2: 500W 80+ bronze (good brand) or 550W (good brand + good reviews)

Get the one that suits you.
