With your low-end rig? No!

Advice on what psu should I pick for my PC
PC Specs
Ryzen 5 2600 @4ghz

Asrock B450M Steel Legend
Team Delta R 2x8GB 3200MHZ

XFX RX 460 4gb

Right now I'm using an aerocool Lux 550w, that I recently discovered is trash. I don't want my pc become a firework anytime soon.
So, after some "research" I had decided to pick some of these psu, But I'm still confused which one should I pick.
 

Coolermaster MWE 650 Bronze V2 650w  ($52)

FSP HV PRO 650W 80+($50)

BITFENIX WHISPER BWG650M 650w ($105)

be quiet! PURE POWER 11 650W ($110)

(Price are converted from IDR, I'm going for 650w because the price difference with 550w is only around $10 )

 

So I wondering, with my current "low powered" hardware is it worth it to buy a 650w 80+ gold psu? If not, than what psu should I choose? Coolermaster or FSP ?

The Bitfenix is the best PSU in your shortlist.

2. be quiet Pure Power 11

3. MWE Bronze V2 Even 450w is sufficient for you system because it draws max 200w.

4. FSP

Thank for the answer. But is it worth it to get a 80+ gold psu? the price is 2 times the bronze psu, by doing so with my current pc will I get any benefit of it?
