So i have 500watt psu and it seems to be pretty old and i dont really know it's brand aswell. So i wanted to change it as i buy the gpu.I wonder which one should i get and came over these two:
DN650, Deepcool, 650W
Thermaltake TR2 Modular 500W


Should i get one of them or is there a better option? I dont want to pay more than 50$ tho
 
Again, I'm sorry for being rude, but I don't read what you do. Look through the sites you listed. It would be way faster if you did that than I did. Antec, Corsair, EVGA, Delta, Seasonic, and many others make quality PSUs. That 450W grey label CX I listed above will work. As will many others.

So if i will have to go with a new one here, then i will have to make a decision between either deepcool or thermaltake, because theres literally no other better options. but if i will go with a used one i'll have much more options to choose between.

New Thermaltake PSUs
Thermaltake Hamburg 530W
THERMALTAKE SMART SE 530W
Thermaltake Hamburg Pro RGB 550W 80 Plus Bronze
Thermaltake TR2 600W WHITE 230V

New Deepcool PSUs
Deepcool DN500 500W
Deepcool DN650
Deepcool 700W PSU


Used PSUs That i was able to find
Corsair CX750 80 PLUS BRONZE
Corsair GS800 Gaming 80+ Bronze
Corsair TX650W 80 PLUS®BRONZE
Antec TruePower 750W 80PLUS BRONZE
 
I know the TT smart SE 530W isn't good. I'm assuming the Hamburg is a slightly updated model? Probably not any better.

I don't see any real reviews on any of the other models. Not for the Hamburg pro 550, or the DN500/650. The TR2 is the only one I've heard of that I even remotely trust.

The only used one I don't know well is the GS800. The others are fine. All three are better than the TR2. I don't have prices or seller info so I'm not sure which is "best".

Well tr2 has the same price as dn650, dn500 is 20$ cheaper and dn700 is like 10$ more expensive than tr2 and dn650. The used ones have almost the same price as tr2 and dn650 tho.
 
Who is selling the used ones? People? Stores? If there is a lot of unknown about the used PSUs you probably don't want them. Things that have been used hard won't last as long as something new. There isn't really a way to tell. When I bought used it was always from a person on a forum like this and I trusted "my gut". I tend to buy new now however.

As I said, I couldn't find a review on the DN units. So from the options you listed I'd go with the TR2. It's not the greatest but if it's the best you can do then you don't really have a choice.

The used ones are from persons and they are offering to test before selling an item. If Tr2 will work for atleast 4 years and wont burn down then i'll probably be fine.
