Need help choosing a PSU (budget rig, RU)

Go to solution Solved by Juular,

For the record, since you're apparently Russian, you'll get help on Russian forums quicker, on this 4pda.ru thread for example, which i sometimes read too (far less frequently in the recent weeks tho since quarantine is now over and i don't have nearly as much free time). But since you're here, out of these three i'd probably choose Chieftec BDF-S, then Xilence Performance A+ and then Zalman GigaMax GVII. If price difference between them is significant for you, you can just go for cheapest of these tho, they all should be good for this build.

Hello everyone,

I'm planning to get a low-budget PC for gaming and everyday use (https://www.dns-shop.ru/custompc/configuration/249e27304fc8d358/ ; I also plan to add a GTX 1650 Super in a couple of months and maybe change a CPU to something like Ryzen 5 2600)

But yesterday I discovered this forum and PSU tier list and decided that I need a better PSU (since the one in my config is tier D).

 

Now, there are 3 tier C PSUs in the shop I'm using that fit my budget:

Chieftec Proton BDF-S (https://www.dns-shop.ru/product/754fd18407123330/blok-pitania-chieftec-proton-500w-bdf-500s/),

Xilence Performance A+ (https://www.dns-shop.ru/product/cc45a5bb73713330/blok-pitania-xilence-performance-a-xn061-530w-xp530r8/)

and Zalman GigaMax GVII (https://www.dns-shop.ru/product/09b4b1bdfc5b3332/blok-pitania-zalman-gigamax-gvii-550w-zm550-gvii/)

 

Which one of those 3 should I get? Or should I get something else?

@Juular @grmaster  thanks for the response! I'll try to snag that Corsair (and in case the price goes up I'll just go with Xilence as the cheapest one)
