PC Specs:
CPU: i7 6700
GPU: RTX 2070 Super
RAM: 2x8GB DDR4 Adata XPG
CPU Cooler: NZXT x52
MB: Asrock B150M Pro4/Hyper
2 HDD - 7200RPM and 1 SATA SSD
PSU: Offbrand 750W (Want to change it because it is not able to supply my power to my Hard Disk and they keep disconnecting after putting some load on it. I'm sure its PSU problem as I checked with other PSU and they worked properly. )

So I am confused between 650W and 750W, I am thinking of Cooler Master MWE 650 Bronze for now. Will it be enough or should I go for 750? Some say 650 is more than enough and some say otherwise. Also which brand should I go for? Cooler Master MWE or Corsair CX650 (https://www.amazon.in/Corsair-CP-9020122-NA-650W-Power-Supply/dp/B01MRW2K7E)

Both models are Tier B, go with whichever is cheaper.

Aight then, I am going with CX 650 Bronze. Won't have any problems with Bronze right?
 
I don't think you will, im using a no badge PSU and it still gives good juice, but It's luck, thoose badges gives security, for example when your power cuts off there might be problems with my no badge PSU but a platinum one will handle it like nothing happened, (using a 250W dual GPU btw, sometimes it makes noise)
And don't forget to clear the dust every 4 months(That's what i usually do)

Platinum is too expensive! Bronze is the one I'm going for.. Ik it's only for efficiency but atleast it's something reliable..

What do you think about Antec Earthwatts Gold Pro Series EA650G Pro 650W? It's in Tier A but I've not heard too much about it. If its good then I can buy it. (https://www.primeabgb.com/online-pr...50g-pro-650w-plus-gold-certified-modular-psu/)
 
Get the one that has alot of comments on it, read them one by one(my PSU had more than 300 comments and all of them was 4-5)
And thoose are so expensive... (I mean your country prices) In here an rtx 2060 brand new sells for $1000, I wish i could shop in america
