This is actually a secondary problem to my first problem. My initial problem was because out of a sudden in the next morning, I couldn't start up my computer and it beeped 5 times.
Then I came to know that it's a indicator for CPU failure. I looked online and in some forum I see people advising other to try re-seat the peripherals: ram sticks(remove one by one), graphics card and also the cpu.

I tried removing one peripheral each time and try to start up but still hear the 5 beeps. Now when I tried to re-seat the cpu, I re applied thermal paste (Cooler Master Master Gel Regular) by following the necessary steps. After I am done applying, I immediately hear sizzling sound from the cpu when I try to turn on the plug to the Psu, not even trying to start my computer.

I am super worried about this as I couldn't not find anyone coming close to my problem

I will attach a video on how it sounds like.

Is the CM elite v4 600w, elite v3 P600w or the cv650 good enough? On a budget but still hope to reserve the wattage for future card replacement, currently on old gtx650

No.

With an RX 580, you ought to not be looking anywhere lower than Tier B on the curated PSU tier list housed here.

I learned my lesson my rx580 is already dead. This was my first pc build.

I think it's not the CPU but rather your 24 pin motherboard header that's making the noise. It's either a faulty motherboards or a faulty PSU. I've checked the video with hi-fi earphones. If your microphone is function as it should be the noise is coming right of your hand.

it could be my psu, i had my ram being faulty after 3 months of use before this. My parts are all relatively new except for my psu which brought forward from my old dekstop.
