Thanks alot, the CX550 and S12iii 500W are looking real good, I'm gonna have to decide between both. 

CX550 is a bit better so if they're the same price - CX. If the S12III is cheaper - get that

Recommended budget power supply for the following heavy gaming and light browsing build:

-Ryzen 5 2600x

-RX 5500xt or 1650 super (depends on prices after lockdown)

-MSI MORTAR MAX mATX

-1TB Sabrent NVME QLC M.2

-1TB WD BLUE HDD 7.2k RPM

-120GB Crucial BX500

-2×8GB Ballistix Sport AT 3200MHz DDR4 CL16

-3 RGB Fans & 1 non-RGB Fan

-RGB Peripherals

Hell no - that's a mediocre unit at best and certainly worse than every other similarly priced model. Do NOT buy a BQ.

Corsair CX550 or Be Quiet System Power 9 600W

You should also skip those GPUs and get at least a 5600 XT or 2060 - you won't be doing heavy gaming with a 1650 Super or 5500 XT

That's way overkill - no sense in wasting the money. His system won't use more than 250W

@RealTronaldDumpanything Tier "B+" or better

One of them not available in my country, what about Corsair VS550 or EVGA 600 W1. Are those good options? I'll keep in mind the BeQuiet but how are those options.

The VS is mediocre and the W1 is well known for being one of the most problematic power supplies on the market. Avoid them both.

What about the Corsair TXM or BitFenix Formula? Or the SeaSonic S12III? Cooler Master MWE Bronze as well

Those last two are really good options for my budget, last questions:

-How much Wattage would I need (bear in mind I may overclock RAM and GPU).

And is the MWE Bronze V1 450W a good option for me?

MWE V1 no - avoid.

Get a 500W S12III
