Which PSU should I get?

Go to solution Solved by Juular,

Seasonic S12III is garbage. Corsair CX-m is fine but probably not worth it over be quiet! System Power 9U with this price difference and for this build. Try to find Corsair CV650, if it's same price as U9 it would be preferable, 650/750W versions of it are different than 450/550W.

 I would like to know which PSU I should get. My current available options  are CV450, CV550, Cooler Master MWE 550 bronze V2 , and Be quiet u9 500watts. 

 

 

Here is my build:

 

Mobo - Gigabyte H310m ds2 2.0 (MicroATX)
GPU - GTX 1650
CPU - I3-9100
Ram - HyperX DDR4 2x8Gb 2666mhz Cl15
SSD- 480Gb Kingston a400
HDD- 1Tb 7200Rpm
6x 120mm LED fan
1080p webcam 
Gaming keyboard, Headset and Mouse
(I will add another 1tb HDD someday if needed)

Maybe a 500W unit is good enough from a reputable company like Corsair, EVGA or SeaSonic

An Evga and Corsair 500watt PSU is currently unavailable at my location. Would a Corsair CV450 be enough for my build and is it good?

The cooler master MWE v2 has issues  according to the PSU tier list

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