[SOLVED] What PSU should I buy?

[Deston Muo]

After my psu blew up after putting too much voltage on the gpu Iḿ wondering whether I should get this. https://www.amazon.com/Apevia-ATX-J...1&keywords=600w+80plus&qid=1588210817&sr=8-22 would this work? My build is

Xeon X3470
P7P55 LX
Rx 480 strix
5 rgb fans
DIY Illusion case

Will I be able to oc my gpu again? (Btw all the parts are fine after my psu blew up, im pretty sure it turned itself off before the capicators popped.
If that psu is not good enough any reccomendations around 50$?

No, nobody should buy Apevia PSUs.
3 year warranty.

Are you shopping in the USA?

Apevia PSU is a terrible model. You are not going to find a decent model for $50. You will have to spend more or you will end up with a piece of junk.

Yeah, PSU prices are crazy high right now. 8 months ago, $50 bought you a pretty decent PSU (Corsair TXM 550W in the USA). Nowadays, it gets you a fire hazard.

damn im going to have to wait till after this covid19 nonsense then i guess

Crazy indeed, even the Seasonc M12/S12-II which used to retail for $40-60 and frequently be on sale for another $10 off are now $100+.

Used to be able to buy a Corsair CX450 for $20 after MIR....

It's probably Andyson Jupiter rebrand and i haven't seen any reviews on it, although it's probably safe to assume that it's a garbage.

Do you live in the US?

The cheapest acceptable option right now is this one

Although anything good will require at least 89$ for the Corsair 550 CXM

It's meh tho, not the same platform as non-RGB version. And there are 60$ Corsair CX450 (yes, it's enough) and 78$ Gamdias Kratos P1G 750W (Andyson H6\GX platform, decent stuff, better than TT GX1 RGB definitely).

Yeah, good luck with that these days. I'm putting together a little entry level gaming machine for my grandson using an old Optiplex 7020 i5-4590 as a base. PSUs are ridiculous right now. CX450s are going for around $70-$90 U.S. at the low end if you can actually find one. I'm going to wait a bit. I'm in no hurry. Corsair should have PSUs back in supply in a week or so, and then so will Amazon and other retailers.
