[SOLVED] Need some help picking a PSU

[Lucas G]

So unfortunately I didn't follow my gut when getting a new psu, it's now making some weird noises so I'm thinking of getting a new one. I really don't wanna spend more than $100 unless absolutely necessary. And the PSU Tier list doesn't help a lot.


Here are my PC Specs:

Motherboard: B450 Pro Carbon AC

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600x

GPU: Rx 6650 xt

RAM: G.Skill RipJaw V 3000 mhz

PSU: MasterWatt 650W Bronze

What can you find at your sources in the 550 to 650 watt range, within your budget?

That should be enough power.

I purchased it through amazon and already requesting a refund so that's covered. I'm just looking for a good psu for my system now

Which country? Can you buy from Newegg as well?

Preferably Amazon since that's where I'm getting the money refunded to

Little over budget (15$) but this is a good unit 10yr warranty.

Mostly Thermaltakes, there's two that I've found so far

Thermaltake Smart Pro RGB 650W 80+
EVGA 700 BQ, 80+ Bronze

Not the best but I'm still looking

Never really heard of Super Flower before but I don't really know which manufacturers make good PSUs and based on the tier list it does seem pretty good! Are there any other options or is that the best you've found?

Can't go wrong with SuperFlower and Ledex III model. Corsair is another brand but bit more expensive with Rmx line. There are many tier A psus, i usually go with Corsair (in Australia, can't get SuperFlower here locally) and have owned Rmx (Gold rated), Ax and Hxi (Platinum), all have been good.

Reliability isn't the issue with any of these but budget vs wattage will depend on if you see yourself jumping to a more powerful gpu in future. Something around 650w, possibly 750w if you do see yourself doing that.
