Soo I finally have all the parts for my new system. I have 2 psus laying around the green vx450w and the vs550w orange one. I plan on upgrading the psu anyways down the line. My system won't need more than 450w (rx570+ i5 2500k with small oc).

 

What psu would be the best to use till I upgrade and none isn't an option ofc :) I know bad psus can cause fire and damage components. What one would have the lesser chance to cause this?

oof.

Those are ancient.

The VX450W is more around the 15 Year Mark...

Was released back in 2007 or so...

 

The VS Orange is not as old, but still rather old and should not be used.

 

Why not just get a good quality PSU and wait until you can afford a good one?

Go visit a friend in Germany.

Bitfenix Formula is a good one, be quiet Pure Power 11 (400W and more) is decent as well.
Both are more closer to 50€ than 100€.

Germany is still quite the trip and with Amazon prime you have free shipping anyways :). Any decent one atm that's 550w or more?
