Question I need a help choosing a PSU on a very tight budget ?

[panzercandy]

So I live in Indonesia and I'm planning to build a PC with a Ryzen 2200g and a b450m motherboard. I'm really on a tight budget of around 400- 600k IDR or 20-35-ish dollars.
I would really appreciate if some Indonesian forum user can reply to this thread!

I'm not in Indonesia. I understand you have a very tight budget. The problem with a cheap PSU is that it can fail and damage other components when it fails.

A safe PSU protects your computer, and more importantly all the money you spent on the computer.

For your computer, you do not need a very powerful PSU. Brand does not matter so much. What is most important is the warranty period. It should be a minimum of 3 years, but if you can afford a 5 year warranty PSU then buy that.
The warranty tells you a lot about the quality and reliability of the PSU.
Another important feature is overload protection. Cheap PSUs often lack protection.

Can you increase your budget to 800k? I have seen a Cooler Master Psu Mwe Bronze 550 V2 for that price. It would be probably the best you can afford, if you can afford it.

Other possible choices:
Corsair Cv Series Cv450 (700k)
MSI Mag A550Bn (700k)

Stay away from Gamemax, Enlight and Aerocool models and anything no brand.

I mostly looked at the prices on this store: https://iprice.co.id/enlight/komputer/perangkat-keras/pencatu-daya/?show-filter=1&sort=price.net_asc
A lot of the cheap models are very unreliable. I hope you can afford a better PSU. Maybe you get lucky and find one for a reduced price.

Best of luck.

Thanks for the reply, I don't think I can increase my budget to 800k and also I probably buying the MSI Mag A550BN because before you replied to my thread, I'm already looking the on the tier C PSUs from the cultist and I got some options from that tier list and also I seen some good deal on the MSI Mag A550BN on my local online marketplace, Thanks for replying to my thread!

MSI Mag A550BN

A good choice if you aren't using a dedicated graphics card in your build.
