Current dying PSU: CoolerMaster MasterWatt Lite 600W
ASUS Z87-K
Intel Core i7-4770K@def clock
Palit GTX 1060 3 GB DUAL [NE51060015F9-1061D] not oc'd
DDR3 8GB Corsair XMS CMX16GX3M2A1333C9 + 8GB Kingston ValueRAM KVR16N11/8
ASUS XONAR ESSENCE STX
Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB + Hitachi HDS5C3020ALA 2TB + Seagate Barracuda ST2000VX000 2 TB + Toshiba P300 3TB
Monitors: Asus PB278Q 2.5K + Samsung SyncMaster XL2370

So today my pc didn't turned on after I pressed the button once, twice, thrice, only at 4th time. Which I guess means that PSU's about to die, right on schedule. I bought it 2 years and 1 month ago and I never hard a PSU that lived longer than 3 years. Previous one (zalman gs 500) died when pc was on, exact 2 years after I got it, before that, hiper type r mk II, bit over 2 years, died after not turning on from a first time for a week, then eventually just never turned on. Which is better than dying the zalman's way.

I think my config doesn't use more than 500w?
Heres what I got available View: https://imgur.com/a/HcABCrN

What would be the cheapest one thats good enough to run my specs plus not take anything else with it when it dies exactly in may 2022?

It's definitely on the edge. I wouldn't personally use a 400W here, but you theoretically can get away with it if you're careful.

But for long-term, dependable usage, that's not a good choice. Unfortunately, your choices appear to be very...
None, these are all junk as were at least two of your previous ones (your hiper may have been too, if it was an Andyson-made on instead of a CWT-one). What's the store? You really should buy a quality PSU for a decade rather than five junk PSUs over that time period and crossing your fingers that one of them doesn't take out your PC with them. But that'll involve scrolling much farther down that list.
 
Link to a store with better filter applied
=400-600&stock=2&mode=simple]https://technopoint.ru/catalog/17a89c2216404e77/bloki-pitaniya/?order=1&groupBy=none&price=850-8000&brand=evga-fsp-hiper-seasonic-thermaltake-bequiet&fr[8ln]=400-600&stock=2&mode=simple

first applied filter is price (limited by 8000)
second is manufacturer
and power - from 400 to 600



Will 400w be enough?

But for long-term, dependable usage, that's not a good choice. Unfortunately, your choices appear to be very limited -- this store doesn't carry anything but the budget end of PSU brands. I'd probably go with a Be Quiet of at least 500W given the choices.
