[SOLVED] Cooler Master MWE Bronze 550W V2 vs Kcas 600w Bronze +80

[boredatnight]

Hi all,
So here is my situation, I have an old psu which is still working (Aerocool Kcas 600w 80+bronze) but I am changing my components and having a build as follows :
-Amd Ryzen 5 3600 Wraith Stealth
-HyperX Fury Noir 16 gb DDR4 2400 Mhz CL15
-MSI B450M-A Pro Max
-Nvidia GTX 1650 super
My question, should I keep my old PSU (Kcas 600x) or is Cooler Master MWE Bronze 550W V2 a good enough PSU for this build ?
I checked on Pcpartpicker and found it compatible.

To clarify, The cooler master MWE PSU was the only compatible with this build.

That doesn't make sense. They're all ATX power supplies. Why would the Cooler Master be the only one comaptible?!?!

So I guess the website just doesn't have it listed, on the other hand, is it worth keeping my kcas 600w ?

What are you trying to accomplish? What's you chassis?

Not sure why PCPartPicker would tell you only two PSUs are compatible. There's got to be something wrong there. Can you link us to your PCPartPicker build?

This is the build.

My point isn't about partpicker, I want to know if Aerocool Kcas 600w bronze 80+ is reliable as a PSU.

 

[jonnyguru]

Yeah. That case will accept any ATX PSU. Not sure why PC Part Picker says otherwise.

Yeah. The Aerocool KCAS is pretty <Mod Edit>. But a Cooler Master MWE V2 is only marginally better. So if you're not willing to spend money on a quality PSU, might as well just keep what you have and hope nothing gets damaged.

Thank you for the feedback, I will look into something with a better quality but hopefully cheap

Actually I'm in Morocco, hence why my selection is a bit narrow but the corsair cx450 is possible for me to have. Thanks again.
