I been using a Thermaltake PSU for awhile now a 500W non modular smart series! This PSU is quite and has lasted a good while now, I know it's a Cheap PSU but it wasn't light weight when I unboxed it, like some really cheap PSU's I have felt and the casings on the wire seemed enough for the power usage and draw of the PSU and good quality, it looks decently made and if someone was on a super tight budget or just rebuilding an old PC like I was, it could work in a pinch! I'll keep you guys updated as to how long this thing actually last! Right now it rocks a HP Memphis 2 uATX motherboard with an i5 4690, 16 GB HP Hynix DDR3 1600, GTX 1070 and I added a 240 GB PNY SSD to the 1TB WD Blue! I put all this in a cheap yet decent glass case called a Matrixx 30 from Deepcool it's really cheap but even so worlds above that extremely cheap HP case and it fits a 3 fan GPU if you bend the SSD tray thing down out of the way! LOL The whole build is an HP 550-153W I bought for 50 bucks then gutted and I bought upgrade parts for on ebay ( CPU and 1 8-GB HP hynix Dimm to match) and the GPU as well I got that on an Auction I won. I added three Noctua fans to it as the case really needs airflow, 2 in front one in back! And not it's only designed for one but if your willing to run them with three screws you can mount two up front in it by putting one screw in and turning one fan out of the way to install the top screw for the outside fan, that wasn't easy!! LMAO  It's nothing great and most of these guys would probably laugh at it, but it's well wired, looks decent and does game! Thus proving that even a poor pizza delivery guy can build something that games from watching LTT build guide video's!!
 

yep still covered by one year warranty I also contacted best buy and they said i could bring it back and ether exchange it or get a refund so this story has a happy ending after all! thanks for the advice!
 

youtubers are notoriously bad at recommending PSUs. mostly because they dont really look into them.
