Hi all,

I was wondering if I could get every bodies advice about what PSU to purchase for my current build.

My specs are:
Ryzen 5 1600x
ASRock AB350 Fatal1ty Gaming K4 motherboard
8gb (2x4gb) 3000 mhz corsair RAM
MSI Vega 56
EVGA 600BQ

I've had alot of troubles recently with game crashes and screen blackouts. I updated my GPU already, stress tested my CPU (no issues) and used my friends monitor with different cables yet problem persisted.
From the advice found on here and other sources I am guessing it must be a PSU issue.

So am hoping you guys can help me out and recommend a better PSU to replace mine or if you have any ideas what the issues could be would help out massively.

Thanks a lot for any help
 


It's a 95W CPU (even though it probably doesn't consume that) and Vega 56 can be overclocked and sustain over 300W consumption and have short peaks of 376W http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-rx-vega-56,5202-21.html

Plus I just found out today the M12II is the same as the S12II except modular. So it doesn't have OCP either.
 
BIOS, Windows, Drivers are all up to date. No overclocking on anything.

I guess up to around 100 USD.

From what I've seen mine falls under tier 3/4, so I should likely get a tier 1/2 to be on the safe side this time. Not sure whether to go Modular or semi-modular or if there's really any benefit of any.
Usually get my things from Micro Center as the guys there are pretty helpful and price match so maybe ask them while I'm in. Although black Friday deals etc should be coming soon
