Depends a bit on your location, or rather what you can find at the stores you're buying from.

 

I would get something like a Corsair CX550, BeQuiet Pure Power 11 or something along those lines.

500W+ would be good, even 450W too.

Actually I had cx 430 but the games keep crashing when card is under load and that psu was quite old too.

I'm in India

Your build uses like 350w or so under dual CPU and video card load.

The similarities between the CX430 and CX450 stop at the names, because they are quite different PSUs.

We're talking about a 2012 vs. 2017 PSU, green label vs gray label.

The CX430 wasn't really that good of a power supply.

 

I'll have a look on Amazon India in a minute to look for good options.

Looks like the best options would be the Corsair CX550 or the TX550M.

The TX being more efficient, quieter and generally higher quality. (and it's also modular)

Alright brother Thank you!! Those are kinda costly for me but I'll still look for those used too?

Those seemed to be the best options when buying new, but for more options see the PSU tier list:

Tier B+ or better would be my suggestions, 450W and up.

Your system will use about 350W under full load.

 

Buying PSU's used is something I personally am not really into, as warranty is a crucial part of a power supply, but whatever fits your budget I suppose.

Hm?

At the typical load for OP's system (approx 220W), the CX550 spins its fan at 820 RPM, vs 1660 RPM with the TX550M.

Thanks for the correction! Must have read that wrongly some time in the past.

I'm getting a cx 600 & cs550m used for 34$ Should i cop? Or grab a vs 550 new for 35$??

The CS550M would be fine.

 

You should also invest in a SSD for your operating system. Even a cheap SSD will make a huge difference over a HDD.
