Hi!
I need a power supply for my new PC build. Budget: $50 -$70.
I know I won't be able to get a very good/long lasting one for that amount of money, but it should: last for a few months without frying any of my other components; have 20+4/24 pin cable for the mobo, 4 pin for the CPU, 6+2/8 pin PCIe for the GPU; handle office work + the occasional weekend-long gaming sessions (think open world, but no multiplayers); preferably not be very noisy; 500W minimum (preferably 550W). No RGB or any other "shiny" stuff necessary, doesn’t matter what it looks like.
Here's my list of components:
I just found a Corsair CV650 for $76. It’s a bit too expensive, but if it makes a noticeable difference(in terms of quality), I’d choose it over CV550 or S12III-550. Not for the extra wattage though, I probably don’t need that much power.
So, what should I go with? Are these even valid options? Do you have other suggestions within my budget?
This is where I’m shopping:

or

It’s not in English, but I think you can get an idea about what’s available (manufacturers in the left column, under “Producator”/ “Brand”).
Thanks!
ETA:
I should add that I received some good recommendations from some nice people around here on an earlier post, like: Corsair TX550M, Corsair CX550, Seasonic S12II/M12II 520W/620W. I’ve looked into all of them, but they're either above what I can afford to spend this month and/or not even available.
It doesn’t really seem to be the best time to buy a PSU. I’ve been monitoring the market for the last couple of weeks. Products are frequently out of stock and prices are fluctuating. I think we’re starting to see the effects of the pandemic around here. I wouldn’t buy now if I didn’t have to.
