[gdtayab]

Hello,
i have a buld wiht b450-m tuf + r 2600 + 16 gb + rx 470 4g.
i have no idea which PSU one should i get ?
- COOLER MASTER ELITE V3 600 W NO 80+ for $50
- SMART POWER SERIES 400W 80PLUS BRONZE for $34
- FSP Hyper 500W 80+White for $ 56
- THERMALTAKE LITE POWER 650 RGB NO 80+ for $ 56

IMO: None of them.

They're all very poor quality, ESPECIALLY the Smart and Lite power series.
The last thing you should ever go cheap on, is the PSU.

Do you have a better budget for a PSU?
The cheapest I could recommend opting for:
PCPartPicker Part List

Power Supply: Corsair CX (2017) 550 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($64.99 @ Amazon)
Total: $64.99
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

But there are better PSUs to opt for.
Just see point 1 here: https://forums.tomshardware.com/thr...when-selecting-parts-for-a-custom-pc.3510178/

that's really frustrating,
the above +" FSP HYDRO & COOLER MASTER ELITE & SPIRIT OF GAMER XPS", ar the only available PSU in my country & some unknown brands. the budget in not the problem.
if there is any good PSU from those series please let me know.

For Newegg is changes based on your own browsers default Newegg setting.
So for OP if they are Algeria based and haven't changed their Newegg settings purposely to USD, then it should show Algeria.

Well, there is something I didn't know.

thanks for replying to all my questions i really appreciate it.
i was thinking of newegg but the shipping cost is too high, and i am not willing to pay $100 for a $55 product.

I just tried out the Algeria shipping costs and ... WOW!

Literally charge you for the product again don't they?

Well a list of some that you could consider if they are available - some are better than others, and I may not usually recommend, but based on your location difficulty, just giving food for thought:

• Seasonic M12II (not ideal IMO, but good if you're stuck for budget)
• Cooler Master MWE Bronze (specifically Bronze and upwards, standard MWE is trash)
• Corsair CX / TX / RM / RMx / CXM
• EVGA G1 / G2 / G3 / GQ
• Antec EDGE
• ThermalTake Toughpower Grand

etc.

 

[gdtayab]

thanks,
-i just checked, and the only one that i could find was "COOLER MASTER MWE BRONZE 550". it's the only choice that i have.
i might wait a little bit and see if any new product will be add to the market.
-newegg shipping is not practical to my country, i wanted to test the Graphite Thermal Pad.

but the shipping cost was almost %300
i was like ...What!? treble price for a small product.
