it's at least 80+, so there's that, but you don't need 700 watts for that build. you'd be fine with like 550.

Google 'psu calculater' and plug your stuff in. that'll give a recommendation for wattage

I can't find a reliable, detailed review unfortunately.

If memory serves, when CM rebranded their PSUs (all to some version of the "Masterwatt" name), the Lite was essentially a rebrand of either the B V2. or Elite II lines........ so, IIRC then no, they wouldn't be 'good' PSUs.

My memory may have failed me there though.

What is your budget/location?

Are the Corsair CX450 or CX550 available to you? Those should be more than sufficient.
If you happen to be in the US, they'll set you back $45-$50

I know but there only is a 700 500 or 400 but when i buy 500 there will go off like 20% so it will only be like 400 or so!
So 700 i think was great and its only 60 Euros

Not sure how shipping will be to the Netherlands, but Newegg have the G550 from Seasonic for 63EUR

And the CX550 from Corsair (2017 revision) for 41 EUR
https://www.newegg.com/global/nl/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139202&cm_re=cx550-_-17-139-202-_-Product


The SeaSonic G550 is 85EUR in the Netherlands (Rotterdam I believe)

And you appear to be limited to older platforms for reasonable prices:

But should still be more than sufficient.

Did your PSU got burned?

Thats not entirely true i have the 700w 80+ white and i may not complain if you have good ventilation in your case and dont do anything like overclock the psu or do something other weird things whit it you are totally fine. It feeds my Ryzen 5 1600x and rx 580 8gb with 2666mhz ram 16gb without problems .

And believe me the moment that thing will do something stupid i will contact manufacturer cause they are responsable. It happend to my ones with a another psu from another manufacturer and they paid the whole thing that was damaged!.

you have luck and nothing else, and no manufacturers are not responsible for your mistakes.
