Need suggestion about PSU for upgrading a prebuilt

samurai7222

So I decided to upgrade my pc with a new gpu (rx 570 4gb) and I need a new PSU because my current one doesn't even have a 6+2 connector. I found two PSUs in my budget which are the Antec VP550P Plus and the Corsair VS550 but some people online are saying they both are trash so it will be really nice if someone would recommend me a good PSU in this price range (about 50 to 55 USD).

Specs: i3 7100

Asus H110M-CS

2x4 GB ddr4 2400 mhz

RX 570 4 gb

1 tb hdd

Depends on the VS. If it's got really old typeface and an orange label, run. If it's got the same kind of gray branding that other Corsairs do these days, it's an ok unit.

 

For a build like that, you can't go wrong with a Corsair CX if the VS doesn't work out.

Aerocool DS are the best fans you've never tried.

The one I found has gray branding so it will be good enough right? I can't go above this budget. Also what about the VP550P?
