Good cheap 500w-550w psu?

[Vod]

Hello! 

 

So I'm building a new pc and I need to pick out and psu, an 500w psu would be ideal but I guess 450w one would work too, it's just when I'm going to be upgrading the gpu ill probably need to buy a new psu if I go with the 450w one. 

Some specs of the pc are: rx 570 4gb, ryzen 2200g, 12gb ddr4 ram... 

 

Budget for the psu is around 40 eur.

CXM or CX(2017) should fit into that price range

[NunoLava1998]

Get a CX (2017) preferably.

 

Also, ONLY get the CX and CXM power supplies with gray writing on them (newer version). The older version has green writing and is very bad quality.

VS should be avoided (especially the old orange writing VS).

The best option is be quiet System Power 9 400W and up.

There ain't much other options for "around 40€"...

No, its garbage because its so old and not made for modern stuff.

 

You must NEVER combine 10 Year old PSU with modern Hardware.
