Ah, I see the problem. Most the decent PSUs available start at 650/750 Watts and that's why you're looking at those. That's a little unfortunate for you as it's not really necessary for your system, and if the 450/550w models were available they should have been a little cheaper, so you end up forced to spend more than you really should have to.

Most of the stuff listed on those sites are out of stock as well which doesn't help.

Either of those would be the ones I would go with... Though the CX650 is currently listed as Out of Stock on those websites.
There's also the TX550M listed ( http://www.nanotek.lk/product/609), but it's only 500 Sri Lanken Rupees (~$2 USD) cheaper than the TX650M and the TX550M is also listed as Out of Stock.

If your budget is really tight, then the VS450 (grey label) would also work. As I mentioned earlier, I wouldn't normally recommend it, but it is USD $50 cheaper than the Corsair CX models so if you can't afford the CX/TXM then the VS450 (GREY LABEL) would be the best of the cheaper units listed on those sites. (Best under 10,000 Rupees).

I had a choice to build the 1st generation system unit in 2019. So I bought,

 

• Processor - Xeon X5675.
• Motherboard - X58 ( Asus P6T6 WS Revolution).
• Ram - DDR3 24Gb (4Gb x 6).
• GPU - Gigabyte RX580 8Gb.
• HDD - 1 x SSD + 2 x 7200rpm HDD.
• SATA 3 PCIe card.
• USB 3.0 PCIe card.
• CPU Cooler - Hyper 212X
• Casing - Cooler Master Masterbox MB511 ( 4x120mm fans) 
• Power supply - 600W normal PSU

 

So this PSU doesn't enough for this rig... Please help me to decide to buy the most suitable PSU for this rig among the following 3 brands. 

"Corsair, Seasonic, Cooler Master "

What do you guys recommend for this?

Yes, enough in wattage, but this PSU doesn't. This one is a low-quality PSU. :(

Perfect. ?  So 650W or 750W? Which wattage will be most suitable? What's your point?

That's not a dual socket motherboard and you only have a single RX580. No need for 650/750W.

I'm really confused why you asked if 650-750W was needed for your system and had all 3 people who answered tell you that 650-750w isn't necessary... Then follow it up by asking which 650-750W unit to buy?

What's the prices of the 450-550W variants of those models?

Future proof heheehe. Not really because all PSU calculators recommend more than 650W. That's why I looked at those PSUs... ?

 

Currently, my PSU is Oasis 600os dual v2.3 (600W) :( It doesn't enough, PC suddenly restart when Unigine GPU benchmark. So I doubt if 600W will be sufficient. :(

Skip the VS and MWE (Bronze) units.
The TX550M pricing sucks [compared to the TX650M].

Are the 450/550 Corsair CX/CXm units available? They should be a bit cheaper.
What country are you buying in? What's the website that you are searching?

and they always overestimate. I dont know how much power the CPU can draw when overclocked, but I'm certain you're not cooling 250w of power draw from that little surface area without cooking the CPU or going custom cooling. RX 580 can do 250w when you're pushing it but again, without modding the cooling you're not going more than that.

If your budget is really tight, then the VS450 (grey label) would also work. As I mentioned earlier, I wouldn't normally recommend it, but it is USD $50 cheaper than the Corsair CX models so if you can't afford the CX/TXM then the VS450 (GREY LABEL) would be the best of the cheaper units listed on those sites. (Best under 10,000 Rupees).

Will that be enough with this rig? ? According to the PSU calculators, minimum PSU load wattage is around 500W. ? That's why I can not make a final decision. :(

according to the most popular (in my country..) PSU calculator, your whole rig (95W TDP CPU, RX580 card, 6 ram moduls, 3 SATA devices, 4 case fans& others) consumes up to 365w under heavy, theoretical loads (stress tests, benchmarking, etc).

 

Therefore, 450-500w should suffice nicely. No need to opt for more wattage. Quality over wattage!

Life is really challenging. I don't always suceed: )

If it is true, there is no problem. Thank you for informing about that. ?????
