[jaslion]

You just need a good psu.

 

https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

 

Any A or B tier unit 400w and up will power it,

 

If you want some upgrade room get something larger

Not much really depending on the version. Is it one with a pcie cable input or not?

 

Basically any good 400w+ unit will more than do. Overspeccing is fine too doesn't draw more power just gives you a broader range.

@jaslion is this any good for my needs never used the brand before https://www.ebay.com/itm/364545638961?hash=item54e09d0231:g:gl8AAOSwblJlLs5G&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0C2I%2BYLPowA%2B6hA1fOCDNsfzxuCaV0TYyWzIDVHimhFNQLtt1rLX6H4GuEV3Y1IQbLJBYDt8M0uXT2LZnnvTu4gtHwd5sY1VJ%2BV%2FTEhsv0nkyLy5bKE9WkhuYTArutW512BEDcFsqZoP3Y6Wqot2Uzwg7s6yMnAGguETrbhBdKCOGzGCBpNp6nGoOm6s%2FQByhvxYeYkrSc%2FilamYCVQR956BbZ3r6GBtXdwIMME0Rx0NF1fcsZj340WemI8f7X%2B6OpMMWdvZe6JN9%2FxwhV%2FY3zc%3D|tkp%3ABFBMhpbvme9i

No, EVGA N1 is a very bad PSU. The protections are not set correctly. This unit can blow itself up.

[dreamcast4599]

@--SID-- how do you know its an n1 unit the box doesnt list what kind it is? also i need a psu for under 40$ as thats my limit

'100-N1'

try this one (new)

Apevia Prestige 600 W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply (ATX-RP600W) - PCPartPicker

You can't really get a good psu under 40 bucks unless it's used (which I wouldn't go for)

if you wanna take a gamble - Thermaltake Smart 600 W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply (PS-SPD-0600NPCWUS-W) - PCPartPicker

[dreamcast4599]

@filpo ok what about under 60 with shipping

MSI MAG A550BN 550 W Power Supply - Newegg.com

 

Amazon.com: Apevia ATX-PR600W Prestige 600W 80+ Gold Certified, RoHS Compliance, Active PFC ATX Gaming Power Supply : Electronics

[--SID--]

The MSI MAG A550BN is by far the best you can get under $60.

[dreamcast4599]

@filpo what about this one? https://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Certified-Continuous-cooling-PS-SPD-0500NPCWUS-W/dp/B014W3EM2W?crid=6TGTF4PPMUX9&keywords=thermaltake%2Bpsu&qid=1698590011&sprefix=thermaltake%2Bpsu%2Caps%2C138&sr=8-3&th=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=a04200db-20&linkId=1f7ed5476aad5b9a84b96fc36fdf050f&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&fbclid=IwAR0UG3JEYZvQSFWgkJPl9JUQOScd3f8GJaSY_b347iEgiB2HIRl0D3oiktU

I personally think it's not great or even good for the money 

@--SID-- what do you think?

[dreamcast4599]

well @filpo i cant really afford more than 50 and thats stretching it i mean most of the parts that i have for my friends build were either parts i had lying around the house or parts people donated to help my less fortunate friend have a decent pc since he cant afford one

Then the best thing you can go for is an apevia prestige Apevia Prestige 600 W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply (ATX-RP600W) - PCPartPicker

Which is not a horrible psu by any means, it's better than the thermaltake smart

 

If you really want to go used

Just as bad as the n1 the suggestions people made above are about as good as it gets for the small budget

 

This and the n1 are basically one power outage away from a broken pc

Produced in 2016, week 33. Already over 7 years old. And I don't see any modular cable on the pictures. Not a good purchase for $45.
