Thermaltake Litepower. The most terrible Thermaltake on the planet. Replace it definitely.

Yesterday as I was editing images in my PC (via mspaint, nothing professional) my PC powered off completely, and an audible click was emited from the power supply. Also, a slight burnt smell was coming from it, however it still booted up just fine after a few minutes of leaving it there. I am worried however that my power supply may be starting to die out, as it is a crappy nonbrand "600W" unit that came with my case.

 

Specs:

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 [With stock cooler]

Motherboard: Asrock A520M/ac [Bios ver v1.70]

Memory: G.Skill Aegis 16 GB (1 x 16 GB) DDR4-2666 CL19

Graphics: Asus GeForce GTX 1650 G6 4 GB Phoenix OC Video Card

PSU: nonbrand PSU that came with my Thermaltake H330TG case, claims to be 600W

SSD: Team GX2 1 TB 2.5" SATA SSD

I finished building this system about 6 months ago.

 

Should I replace my PSU? And what PSU would you recommend as a replacement?

EDIT: as i was writing this my gpu stopped outputing and my rgb keyboard stopped showing light. fan ramped up and power and reset buttons did nothing. had to unplug it and now in worried something is starting to kill my pc. it still boot but i don't trust using it anymore.

EDIT 2: Attached picture of the PSU

EDIT 3: Changed the pic of the PSU to one including the label

Stop using it ASAP.

 

Can damage other parts in the pc easily. 

 

Also unplug the pc from power until u have a new psu in it.

Something B tier, 500w should be plenty.

PS-TTP-0600NNFANU-1 is the PSU that came with the case. Can't find much about it. Can you take a picture of the unit and add it to this topic?

Pic of the label please. You have to take out the PSU anyway if you want to replace it.

I posted the pic of the label above, also going to edit the post to include it

Alright, I already pulled it out of my system so now I just gotta wait for my new psu to arrive fron Amazon. Thanks for your help!

PD: I decided to take that psu apart before disposing of it and now I'm wondering if it's fan could be salvaged (to be used as a case fan) since the rest of the power supply is garbage

EDIT: Managed to salvage the fan, as stated in this post
