That one is recommended for systems with integrated gpus. What is your budget and where are you located?

I am far from an expert in this so please correct me if I’m wrong.

the 650w is different and better, this one is a group reg one and isn't the best. 

i mean if you can return it, then budget for a psu?

I am located in São Paulo, Brazil where prices and taxes are highly abusive I paid R $ 500 which would give me $ 89.29, but with the devaluation of my currency and the dollar being sold very high I ended up buying this PSU, but for release of conscience I would like to know if at least it is a good PSU and would support my current configuration.

What online retailers can you use? I can only find a few psus on the Brazil Amazon site and they are over budget or about equal to the one you already have.

At the moment I can't even return it, it's the only one that fit my budget, I would just like to know if I can take this configuration in a good way without running the risk of burning something, since my old font was a generic from China.

 

The PSUs in the image are the only ones I could have purchased within my budget.

Not the best, but if you cant return it, it will work. It is definitely better than what you had before. Of the ones you showed, the cx550 is the best.

I am a little more relaxed that it is also not the worst PSU in the world and that I can take this configuration without any risk, given the current situation in prices in my country One last question among these PSUs was one from EVGA, would it have been a good acquisition or when it comes to brand, does Corsair make better sources?

How good a psu is depends on the model. Manufacturers make both great ones and fire hazards. According to the psu tier list (linked in my signature) the evga w1 which you could have gotten is about the same quality as the cv550.
