What PSU should i buy

Skellter

So i have an very old PSU from an office computer that i am using right now. I want to upgrade it because it doesn't have 8 pin for the motherboard or 6+2pin for gpu.

What should i buy , i have this options. Everything costs around 40-50$.

1) DEEPCOOL 550W DN550 New version

2) XILENCE 600W XP600R7 RedWing R7 Series

3) GAMEMAX 600W GE-600

I don't know much about psu so that's why i am asking.

And no i don't have more money to spend for a better one , i think this should be enough for a psu. Even this 20$ crap Linkword lpj12 450w lasted 10 years

Is neither an option?

I don't have a lot of money , from what i heard deepcool was a good company but it's 550w. For a i5-4460 and a rx580 is it enough ?

Never buy based on brand, always review the models. All of those models are utter garbage and the latter two are fire hazards

Why should i give more when a garbage like Linkword lpj12 450w lasted for more than 10 years.

I am not building a monster pc , i just need a regular functional psu.

Because the linkwood lasting was akin to winning the lottery as I've seen such units literally explode with shrapnel.

The 400W model is not as good as the decent 500/600 ones

Check the DeepCool DA500. That's decent

1) DEEPCOOL 550W DN550 New version

2) XILENCE 600W XP600R7 RedWing R7 Series

3) GAMEMAX 600W GE-600

 

All of these are poor quality power supplies.

It's got upgraded caps and filtering and actually meets 80+ bronze specification. For 5$ more - it pushes the platfrom from "don't waste money on" to "it's fine for lower end systems"
