[SOLVED] EVGA 600w Bronze, good?

[Deleted member 2775583]

I was wondering if the EVGA 600W BR power supply is any good to buy? https://www.newegg.com/evga-600-br-100-br-0600-k1-600w/p/N82E16817438146

Are bronze power supplies still ok to use? Or is it a must to get something like a silver or gold rated PSU? Thanks!

Bronze, silver, etc only refer to efficiency and are not a direct indication of quality. I would take a quality bronze unit over a poorly made gold.
As for the BR, its not a great unit, but its certainly not dangerous.
For not much more (all things considered) you can get a large increase in quality: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Km...ified-semi-modular-atx-power-supply-ssr-550fm

"Best" is subjective, especially coming from a BR

All the PSU's suggested so far are all excellent choices. However, if you are on a budget the Seasonic M12II 520 is on sale at Newegg for $39 after $20 mail in rebate.

These are very rugged and reliable power supplies and are a steal at that price point. It's even fully modular.

What would be the best 600 watt power supply to get for around 60 dollars? Should I just stick with EVGA?

You haven't listed your specs yet. I would be surprised if you really needed 600 watts. There only two PSU's that I would consider that come close to that price point. The M12II 520 which I have already linked to. The other is the Corsair CX 550.

The power supplies suggested by other posters are even better, but they cost more money.
