I'm shopping for a cheap PSU to get an old desktop up and running, with following specs:

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-EP43-UD3L LGA775

Graphics Card: SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4670 GDDR4 512MB

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400

Memory: A-DATA 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model ADQVE1B16K

Case: SilverStone Lascala LC17 SST-LC17B ATX


I'm in US and prefer to buy from Amazon for this purchase. I'm just looking for the best cheap PSU in the 450-500w range, main concerns are longevity and reliability. I'm considering these 3 options:

https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-...49271871&sprefix=evga+500w+psu,aps,141&sr=8-3

https://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-S12...2266&sprefix=seasonic+psu,aps,159&sr=8-1&th=1

https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-TUF-Axi...&sprefix=asus+tuf-450+psu,aps,163&sr=8-1&th=1

Which one of these is the best? Any others I should consider?
 
Solution
For a build like that if I were you, I'd look into Ebay and source a Seasonic S12II/M12II 520W unit. Out of those 3 units listed above, I'd pick the Seasonic unit.
