Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Option 1 is best thrown out the window or used as a paperweight.

Where are you located, what sort of a budget do you have for your PSU purchase and what sort of brands/units do you have access to?

Don't feel bad. There are No 'Good' budget psus. There are several 'acceptable' psu lines that fall in the budget price range.

Option #1. Take it into town, there's multiple statue creators who can always use scrap, I'd say take it to the Corniche and toss it off the reef, but that's disrespectful to the reef.

Option #2 MWE v2 is the best of that bunch, the Evga W1 is barely better than option #1, Corsair CV is ok, but surpassed by the MWE, that Deepcool is bottom of the barrel CWT and the voltages are as stable as a palm tree during a typhoon, somewhat worse than the CV for a gaming gpu. And the other option from Amazon.sa (msi mag a550bn) is seriously not good.

Cheap and Quality can be used in the same sentence, if comparing the cheap quality unit to it's performance competition, but Budget and Quality cannot be used in the same sentence other than to say that Budget and Quality cannot be used in the same sentence.

In order to make a budget psu, every conceivable corner must be shaved, cut, removed or skipped entirely, which guarantees you get a choice of what barely passes for a psu.

Thanks for the advise. i just want to ask one more thing, so i asked someone at linustechtips forums and they said that the pk650d have the same internals as the corsair CX,I actually have a hard time believing that and just want to get peoples opinion on it, and if its actually true.

PK650D is based on the same platform like the Corsair CX-M 2021, MSI MAG A-BN, NZXT C Bronze and some more. It's a decent low end unit.
If the Cooler Master really is the full range model that's the one to go.

There's not that many actual OEMs for psus, the decent ones anyways, like ram the OEM builds a unit for a vendor based on a specific platform design. Some designs are in house, as they are CWT designs, and are used by multiple vendors with only minor actual component changes, like better tolerance caps or better diodes etc, but the design at its most fundamental is the same.

Other designs are vendor specific designs and the OEM is contracted to build that as is specified. Corsair primarily uses CWT, XFX used primarily Seasonic, Evga was all over the place with SuperFlower, CWT, Great Wall, Seasonic etc depending on the Evga model.

So yes, absolutely you can have 2 or more 'brands' with certain lines, like the Deepcool PK series, Msi Mag A-BN etc that are the same basic platform, just a few minor changes, which can make an ok platform better, or worse.
