Hi can anyone tell me if this psu is suitable for rx 580 8gb with slight overclock? I'm confused by so many of the masterwatt series. Is this a good psu? I know the corsair cx550m is good but that's too pricey for a build im planning to do.

It's 'ok'.

Mediocre component quality wise but is based on a modern platform, is safe and performs reasonably well.

You could do better (which you already know), but you could also do far worse.

It'll manage an rx 580 without issue.

Compare that with the cv550. Which one is better?

Masterwatt is better, it's a more modern platform for starters and the 5 year warranty tips it.

Okay thanks a lot man. I've heard of this psu exploding but maybe it was master watt lite or mwe version

The masterwatt white 80+, the mwe bronze v1, and the mwe white 80+ white are all rubbish.

The one you're looking at is a totally different psu and way better quality.
