Corsair CX550M help!

[Sokrey]

Is this psu good for a first time builder on a budget?

im gonna be using a ryzen 5 1600 and a gtx 1050 ti with it
is it gonna serve me some years?

Nope, it's not a good PSU for anyone, much less a first time builder. Buy something from tier 1 or 2 off this list that you can afford. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
Can't tell you how many threads have been created on this forum cause someone's CX series PSU was on the fritz. Avoid it unless you literally have no choice.

Corsair CX (green label) are bad psu for anyone.

Corsair CX450M, CX550M e CX650M (grey label) changed manufacturing. They don' t have the problems of Corsair CX (green label).

Corsair CX750M (grey label) ed maybe Corsair CX850M (grey label) have changed only the label and they are bad as the Corsair CX (greeen label).

Course, if you look at the tier chart, it still lists it as a tier 4. If it were my hard earned money, I'd buy an EVGA or Seasonic from a higher tier.........
Never scrimp on the PSU, rule no. 1.

than can you find me a good psu on this site which's shop is in my country https://www.adm.hr/category.asp?cate=napajanja&id=47 translate the site and transfer our curency kunas to dollars using google

 

[dudmont]

Croatia, sweet. Ok, on that website, the next psu down from the one you're looking(same page, same wattage) at is an FSP, that's a tier 1 it's about 15 dollars more(103 kunas more), using the websites numbers, and converting kunas to dollars. There's also 3 PSUs at the bottum of the page that are higher efficiency units that are top flights as well. That FSP is a gold rated efficiency model, if the budget matters, it's what I'd buy.
I know money doesn't grow on trees, buying a PSU is super important, it's why I'm stubborn about the issue, you don't want components starting on fire or frying cause of a bad PSU.

Yes. CX450M, CX550M and CX650M are better than Evga 430, Evga 500. Evga 600 and Evga B (this Evga aren't bad psu).
If you have more budget you can buy on that site: Fractal Design Integrata M (is less efficient than Corsair CXM) < Corsair TXM < Corsair RMX (is top psu). Then i don't know what's your budger for psu.

Seasonic G is another top psu. It' s not particulary silent but if this isn't a problem for you, i recommend it.
