PSU recommendation

[Gaires]

Hello!

 

My brother has an old computer and he's having problems with it. What he has told me, the computer has problems powering on and might even shut down when trying to turn on.

So I suggested to change the power supply, since to me it sounds like either his power supply or motherboard is dying, but it's hard to find a motherboard for an old Intel Pentium APU system (G4560 If I remember correctly).

 

I checked the psu tier list and came up with these three options. I was wondering if it's worth it to pay roughly 9€ more for the CV or SP9 over the Kolink since my brother doesn't have a lot of money.

Kolink Classic KL-V2

Be Quiet System Power 9

Corsair CV 450

You will be fine with the Be Quiet or Corsair, since those are the most reliable brands. These are not their best PSUs though, but they will do the job. I suggest not getting the Kolink, since it's less of quality.

Another suggestion of mine is the Cooler Master MWE series, either White or Bronze efficiency.

Kolink is also in tier C, just under the low priority units, that's basically why I'm asking.

Both are out of stock with no info when they'll be back in stock.
