Question Help me find a PSU, please

[Mr.Pijama]

Hi everyone, I want to swap my current PSU (one that came with the case, which is, probably, in bad shape after 3 years of use) before it kills itself or any of my other components. What I have connected:

FX-6300 Black Edition @ 3.5Ghz
2x4 RAM DDR3
ASUS M5A78L-M plus USB3
A400 SSD
500GB HDD
8GB RX-570
120mm Fan
80mm Fan

I don't plan on OC any of the components nor adding anything extra, save a better cooler for the CPU, eventually. As of right now I have the equivalent of $60USD, but I could probably squeeze an extra 15 given some time, I dont know how doable this is but I'd appreciate all and any help you can give me.

You will have to tell us where you are buying from so we know what the prices are there.

Mexico, but can probably import from USA or even Europe (through Amazon)

Both are enough, but the top is better for sure.

After currency change and VAT, that one comes to around $89, still a saving of nearly 30%

Is there any difference between this one and the CX450m?, looks like both cost the same

Both are acceptable PSUs for a gaming rig with an RX 570. But you don't have much upgrade room. I'd try to go for a 550W or 650W of that model, CX (grey label) or CXM.

CX is a better quality PSU than CX-M, but CX-M has the modular SATA and PATA cables.

So, let's say I plan to upgrade to a Ryzen in the future (as well as swapping the mobo and rams), Would I be fine with a CX450 or is the 550 necessary? Also, what would be the limits while playing with any of this PSU's?

You could definitely upgrade to Ryzen with a 450W PSU. I was referring more to GPU upgrades being limited, though there are still some options.

A 1660ti still only requires a 450w min.

 

[crackz]

Get CX500

Cx500 greens are not good.

Cx550 or cx550m are much better.

 

[crackz]

What do u mean it's not good?
Tell me why the CX 500 is not good.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

CX500s are nearly 8 years old and are not currently manufactured.
No dc-dc, old channel wall design and less efficient than modern cx550.

Yeah, Nvidia will have some efficient GPU options.

I would get a 550+ watt psu and a minimum rating of 80 percent bronze. The reason why I would get a moree powerful psu because PSU overtime can reduce efficiency overtime.

 

[DeathHadArrived]

also get a PSU that is from a reputable company and check the reviews. also, make sure that they can fit your case.
