[SOLVED] Good Budget PSU?

[amkokole123]

So im gonna replace my old

I5 3470 8gb ddr3 and H61M-E Mobo

With Ryzen 5 1600
A320M-K
8GB DDR4 2666MHz

(Probably gonna buy ram at 3200MHz and will see to grt B350 OR 450 MOBO, but that is the bundle i found in my country and its prettt good for its price.)

And i also have EVGA 1060 6GB

And i have some off brand PSU 550watt its called FCL FALCON L (im not sure you can find it on google lol)

And i need something better but not so expensive. So it can power all my components and not explode.


PS: I might even go with (Ryzen 7 1700 and B450 Aorus Pro but that is a little bit more expensive, so good budget power supply is really needed)

I think something like Corsair's CXM 550W 80+Bronze would be good.. do you agree and what are your recommendations.

If the CXM has a grey label, then it's good, if it is a green label then it's bad. Other good choices include the Seasonic S12II 520w and Corsair CX 550w (also make sure grey label not green label).

Anything 80+ should be good, just go for Bronze or better. PCPartPicker lets you see psu's and you can select 80+ filter and then put price limit and wattage and it will find you something good (hopefully)
Good luck!

Don't fall for the 80+ trap. The old green label Corsair CX, Corsair VS, EVGA BR, Seasonic S12iii, all not too good PSUs.

Yeah i will look out for that

But i see that people argue with Seasonic SII12
That it's not good for my build and i should go for something better. I even wanted to go with 620W SII12 since i found a good deal.

The S12ii is a really good PSU. It might be an old model, but it got a reputation for being high quality and strong, and it still is to this day. The S12iii, on the other hand, is a worse one. Avoid it.

So Should i go for S12II (620W becouse i found a really good deal brand new) and will it be good for maybe future upgrades (gtx 1070/1080/ti)?

Definitely, if there is a good deal for it! It means you will be able to upgrade your components int he future without having to worry about getting a new PSU.
