Question Looking for a new PSU

[CodyMondo]

Greetings, after trouble shooting random restarts and power supply keeps coming up, im starting to shop around for a new one. my systems is
Core i5 4590
GTX 1050ti
16GB RAM
2 hard drives
Im looking for a "good" PSU but dont want to spend big bucks for the "premium" supply's. my current Supply is a Corsair CX430 NON V2. The new ones ive looked at are the

EVGA SuperNOVA 450 GM
Corsair SF450
Cooler Master MWE Gold 550 fully modular

Any others i should look at? all im looking for is 450-500ish watt and simi modular. 80 plus isnt a big concern but ehh 80+ gold is good.

Does your system/case require a small-form-factor power supply? If not, why are you looking at those small Micro/SFX EVGA and Corsair power supplies? The Cooler Master isn't small-form-factor. So I'm just wondering.

my case fits just a normal PSU, just happens the small form supplies are near the top since i dont need alot of power. and it seems most simi modular low power supplies are SFF

i did look at the 450W version of that PSU. Ive been out of the PC parts game since Haswell was new, but weren't the CX series considered "budget" and not "upper range"?

VS is bottom of the heap, and I wouldn't use one in my worst enemy's computer.

You did say that you wanted a less expensive PSU, but didn't specify a budget. I went with a decent power output and a very modest price. If you want to take it up a notch or two, look at the TX or RM series PSUs.

As to the power output rating, I wouldn't put anything under a 550W unit in a contemporary computer system; and often take it over that, based on the exact power consumption of the system involved.

oh budget is around $80-$90, but ill take a look into those series aswell. as i stated in the beginning PSU might not be bad but its starting to look like it could be.

How old is your current PSU?

How old is your current PSU?

bought new in 2015. up until early 2017 i ran a GTX960 so it used to have a higher load on it

 

[AllanGH]

Yeah....it's probably time to freshen things up in that department.

New grey label CX450 is all you need for your system. If you want something that will last for your next build or two, then a 7-10 year warranty PSU would be nice.
