i want to build new pc, can someone recommended me a good 450watt psu under $100 for rx 560?

here's the spec:
Processor: i5 6500
Motherboard: asrock H310M-HDV/M.2 SE
RAM: Team Group Elite Plus Black DDR4 2666Mhz 8GB
GPU: Asus Dual RX 560 4GB
SSD: MSI SPATIUM M371 NVMe M.2 500GB
 
Solution
The MSI is rated as Tier-C or low end unit and the Gigabyte is rated as Tier-D or iGPU Only unit. Of those two the MSI is the better of them. It won't be a fire hazard but don't expect it to be very quiet either.
While this is a bigger than 450W, it is a high quality PSU and under $100.

Overall the 750W ATX 3.0 PSU is IMO the better buy.

after checking it in my country the price is much higher because of import taxes. the cheap brand i know are deepcool and cooler master and its the 450w and 500w varian.
 
What are some trusted online retailers in your country and what is your budget in local currency?
i often use tokopedia.com, i dont know when it comes to psu brand, its rare to see official psu brand. tokopedia have store trust sistem which is like a trsuted badge, the purple badge with yellow "✓" are official store or big store. the budet are Rp.600.000 max

For Rp600.000 you aren't getting anything that would even be considered low-end. Everything at that price would be rated avoid or worse on the current PSU tiers list. Your budget in dollars, I'm assuming US dollars, was 100 which equates to Rp1.600.000 at current rate of exchange. Why the difference in budget between the two? If the budget was supposed to be 1.600.000 then we can easily recommend PSUs.
