hi
i want to buy a PSU , and my system require less than 450W.... but i decided to buy a +600 for future or at least less noise...
is that a good idea?

later i checked around and saw 750W have only less than 5% higher price compare to 600... so i decided to go for that one for same reason i mentioned before😅

here is what i found:
cooler master
MWE 650 white (price 2150)
MWE bronze 600 v2 (price 2250)
mwe 750 white (2347)
mwe 700 bronze V2 (2380)
Corsair CX550M (2490)

of course my currency is not $ , but its a number and easy to compare...
feel free to suggest any other brand, and i check the price.

other thing is I don't know what should i care about when i buy a PSU, but my PSU is 15 years old With a strange noise, and just 230W, for that i cant use any VGA ....
(my other components are not that old, just my PSU and Case itself)
also, does PSU use same standard as before? can i install it in such old case? right now my motherboard is Full ATX. its not a small one, my psu is on TOP but i saw now a day psu on bottom.

We have ways to translate any other language store/market into English. So, the language isn't a barrier for us.

I'm getting a feeling that you linking your local store might reveal in which country you live, and since you're embarrassed where you live, you are very reluctant in doing this. :unsure:
We get people from all over the world, from Andorra to Zimbabwe and to us, it doesn't matter where you live. What matters, is that you get good quality hardware that will last you for years, without causing issues.
heh, no, you see, Amazon and other international markets are not available here, so situation is not that easy.... for example, a website have 1 model, and the other website have another..... its stupid but they BANed international IPs for local servers... 50% of engine that i use to find a specific model through local store and ofc those stores are not accessible with international IP....
by the way, you didn't ask me that question, or i would have told you, its iran.... i was looking for a way to see how can i explain there is no such website like Amazon, so how can you search through all of my local stores?
easiest way that i found is: there is a website that look for a specific model through all Persian website... search for word ( Torob) and enter that website. there you can find a search bar on top and .....
and ther is a website like Amazon but not that big. its digikala.com , i hope it have a internal EN version but i'm not sure

Then just get the Corsair CX 550m as long as it's not the old model with the green logo.

torob.com

Looks like Persian version of Google. :unsure:

Still, found loads, like;
Asus ROG Strix 750: https://torob.com/p/c8c52f88-b87a-429a-9b75-12138d6a13f9/منبع-تغذیه-کامپیوتر-ایسوس-مدل-rog-strix-750g/
Review: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/asus-rog-strix-750w-power-supply-review

Corsair RM650: https://torob.com/p/12d77cd0-51bd-4c24-9884-bc52f4c6f8ae/پاور-650-وات-کورسیر-rm650-gold-full-modular/
Review: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/corsair-rm650-power-supply,6187.html

There are loads of Corsair units, from the crap VS to all the way up to top notch AXi,
link: https://torob.com/browse/521/پاور-کامپیوتر-computer-power/b/2019/corsair-کورسیر/

RM, RMx and RMi are solid mid-tier units and good PSUs to go for.

Heck, there's even Seasonic PRIME TX-650, the very same PSU as i have: https://torob.com/p/4d47c7ff-20a3-493b-a6ca-7d2882f7e9da/پاور-650-وات-سیسونیک-prime-tx-650-titanium-full-modular/

digikala.com

Loads of PSUs there too, including Corsair. E.g Corsair RM650,

And other options: https://www.digikala.com/search/?q=واحد منبع تغذیه کورسیر

Equal performance to Asus PSU above but cheaper, is by MSI MAG A650GF,

And no, neither of the sties had English version and i don't speak Persian either. Instead, i used one of my many tools to get over the language barrier. :sol:

Looked easy to me, once the sites were given. :sarcastic:

its stupid but they BANed international IPs for local servers... 50% of engine that i use to find a specific model through local store and ofc those stores are not accessible with international IP....
There is a thing called VPN that will get past international IP restrictions. Though, i don't use VPN (haven't had a need).

There is no CX550M with green logo!

CX550M is fine but
silverstone Essential SST-ET650-G (2700)
is better and
tuf 650 is (2690)
is better too. The Asus is slightly better. More silent then the Silverstone with a better fan a a better quality overall and meets Gold efficiency too according to Cybenetics.

so i chose one of these 3, i just changed Corsair 550 to 650 due to slight price difference.
