NZXT C650 Good Enough?

[Deuxez]

So ive made numerous amounts of topics lately about my GPU randomly crashing, and most things point towards either a dying GPU or a dying PSU. So ive chose to upgrade my PSU, and hopefully fix the random driver crashing i keep having while doing legit nothing on my PC. Its cheaper to test my system with a new power supply than to get a new GPU (cuz of the shortage ofc), and i also think it might be time to upgrade before my current CX500M explodes and takes my entire system with it. 

 

Ive found what seems to be a REALLY good deal on a NZXT C650, at around 75 USD on sale (usually around 100-130 USD). Most other PSUs i could find around that price is either some "antec blablabla", and most of them is either OLD, is bronze certified or its non-modulare.

 

Should i get the NZXT C650? IK there is a PSU tier list here, but i cant really understand anything other than that the NZXT C650 isnt completely SHIT.

What CPU/GPU do you use? The NZXT C is just SeaSonic Focus Gold.

Im currently using a Ryzen 5 1600 AF (reverted from 3.9Ghz 1.35v to stock just to see if it stopped the random gpu crashing), XFX Rs rx 480 4GB, 1 kingston 1tb SSD, 2x 500GB HDD raid 1, random fan controller with 5 case fans.

The C650 is enough. Are there really no other reasonable PSUs?

Yeah no, not within the same price class. I can list some others so you can see what else there is around here. It also looks like they fixed the price on the C650. It now costs around 95 USD. 

 

Other available PSUs:

* Kolink Enclave - 95 USD

* Corsair TX550M - 105 USD

* Seasonic Focus GX 500W - 100 USD

* Seasonic GM-500 - 100 USD

Yeah nah im shopping in the EU or Sweden to be exact. Seems to be a PSU shortage over here at the moment for some fucking reason. Almost impossible to find a good PSU for under 140 USD. And im not really in a good position when it comes to money rn as im a student.
