What PSU should I buy and use? Why?

[anonymous890]

So I have been having a choice and it greatly affects the budget cause yes I can afford a $60 for a psu but it's too much. I've been canvasing and I saw four choices and btw this is the gaming rig I will be using the PSU

Intel pentium g4600
Mobo for the cpu
Gtx 1050 ti msi dual fan with 6 pin
8gb ram
Hdd with ssd

And these are the four choices I saw:
1. Thermaltake smart RGB 600W for 58$
2. Thermaltake litepower 650W for 38$
3. Coolermaster 500W for 53$
4. Corsair 450VS for $38

I'm looking for a psu with the factors of:
1. Longlasting
2. Will not damage my computer parts
3. Has 6 pin
4. Will be used if I ever upgrade to 1060 6gb

You may also take in consideration about recommending on of the PSU for my gaming rig right now before I'll upgrade to 1060 6gb and then change the psu after I upgrade to it.

Isn't the corsair cx 450 or cxm 450 not available there?

Nope, it's so hard to find such branded power supplies here.

Well you should cross the two Thermaltake ones off the list because they are not very good at all. Anything under 750W for Thermaltake is junk.

The Corsair 450VS would be much better and would power a 1060 GTX but it would be a tight squeeze, 450W is the minimum for a typical1060 GTX system according to nVIDIA. It has a 6pin which the 1060 requires. The corsair doesn't have an 8 pin so you can't go up above 1060 GTX and rightfully so because 450 watts isn't enough for 1070 GTX and up.

No idea which Coolermaster that one is. What is the exact model?

I did see the corsair 450VS in the mall but when I asked will it power up my gtx 1050 ti msi gaming x with 6 pin, the salesman there said it will not be good.

With regards to the cooler master, sorry but I forgot.

Did he say why exactly? I see nothing wrong with the 450VS and a 1050 Ti in terms of wattage and PCIe power connectors. A 1050 Ti should be no problem at all.

He didn't, thanks for the tip.

this list can help, you want tier 1 or 2 in 450w or better

a good 450w unit is plenty for a 1050 ti or a 1060

the money saved from needing to buy two power supplies more than makes up for it

This is what you mean right?

The problem is, when you upgrade ur rig, that psu will be limiting you. So better get a good psu now.
Isn't the seasonic M12 Evo 520/620 also not available?

I can only find silverstone and corsair VS here. And silverstone is hella expensive.
