My Specs are:

R3 3300X

1650 Super

1TB WD BLUE HD

B450 Pro VDH Max

Patriot Viper 3200Mhz RAM

120GB SSD

For that config, 550W is definitely enough. You might have to switch out for an upgraded power supply if you make major changes down the line, but I think I'd still recommend the corsair unit.

Help me decide, I'm need to know what I should get, please choose between the two

 

COOLERMASTER MWE 650W – V2 80+ BRONZE POWER SUPPLY

or

 

CORSAIR CX SERIES CX550M 80+ BRONZE MODULAR POWER SUPPLY 

They're almost the same price. The cx550m actually costs more.

 

Edit:

My Specs are:

R3 3300X

1650 Super

1TB WD BLUE HD

B450 Pro VDH Max

Patriot Viper 3200Mhz RAM

120GB SSD

What is your system? Will you need the extra 100W? The Corsair unit is better built, and the Cooler Master unit has some issues with coil whine at low load. From the forum's PSU Tier List:

Quote

MWE V2 units have high ripple issues on very low load also resulting in increased coil whine, fix pending.

If you need the extra 100W and silence isn't a huge concern for you, go with the Cooler Master unit. If not, go with the Corsair. 

Main PC:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X • Noctua NH-D15 • MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk • 2x8GB G.skill Trident Z Neo 3600MHz CL16 • MSI VENTUS 3X GeForce RTX 3070 OC • Samsung 970 Evo 1TB • Samsung 860 Evo 1TB • Cosair iCUE 465X RGB • Corsair RMx 750W (White)

 

Peripherals/Other:

ASUS VG27AQ • G PRO K/DA • G502 Hero K/DA • G733 K/DA • G840 K/DA • Oculus Quest 2 • Nintendo Switch (Rev. 2)

 

Laptop (Dell XPS 13):

Intel Core i7-1195G7 • Intel Iris Xe Graphics • 16GB LPDDR4x 4267MHz • 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD • 13.4" OLED 3.5K InfinityEdge Display (3456x2160, 400nit, touch). 

 

Got any questions about my system or peripherals? Feel free to tag me (@bellabichon) and I'll be happy to give you my two cents.

Okay cool, thank you so much, I'm getting the Corsair one. Hopefully it will last long.
