Looking to upgrade my graphics card and the recommended power supply is at least 450w and Im looking at multiple PSU’s but don’t know which is worth it as I’ve heard bad about Thermaltake smart psu’s
 
Solution
Im upgrading to a gtx 1650 super and I’m looking to spend around $80 on psu
im checking on newegg not sure about you location but
CX450 grey is a decent psu, gold plus bronze rated comes around 65 dollars(price on amazon and pcpartpicker is around $110, i guess a great deal then)
https://www.newegg.com/corsair-cx-s..._re=psu-_-17-139-201-_-Product&quicklink=true

in the future in case you are upgrading your to a higher gpu you will have to upgrade you psu as well but for the 1650, this is perfect.

EDIT: any particular website you want me check on? ill check there too, there are 550w psu in case you want to upgrade cpu or gpu later , going for $80 on...

use this psu tier list to choose your power supply. the psu's you have mentioned are really bad, and I wouldnt recommend any of them. Whats your budget and specs, which gpu are you upgrading to??
