If you buy a cheap PSU. You could be buying a new computer soon.

Stay away from cheap no name brands. They are much more likely to fail. When they do. They can destroy the rest of your computer. Even if the PSU does not fail. Putting a cheap PSU under load can cause the voltages to drift outside of their safe limits and ruin your computer.

Try a Corsair CXM 450 watts or higher. Make sure it is the one where CXM are written in black letters not green letters. The CXM in green letters is an older and cheaper model. You can also look at the Seasonic M12 II. There are cheaper non-modular models of good quality. But these are generally the cheapest good quality modular units.

Is this your PSU? https://www.flipkart.com/circle-500w-v2-31-500-watts-psu/p/itmea27gre49hy9f?lid=LSTPSUEA27GURAUZV8BQVKJA3&pid=PSUEA27GURAUZV8B

It’s only rated at 380w on the 12v rail. This is what you would expect from a good quality 400w so by its own spec it is not even close to a 500w psu. Then consider quality which is important for a psu and more so in a gaming pc. In short I would not use that psu in any pc let alone a gaming pc.
