You are very mistaken.. A cheapo bad PSU can easily kill your motherboard or GPU and even catch fire and burn your house down.

 

But if you don't believe in any of this, the Gamemax 800 is an excellent choice! 

bet

so i basically wanted to upgrade my psu so it could handle 13600k and a770ish gpu in future

i have found a half modular 800w gamemax psu (pic attached) and also aerocool aero white 700w which is not modular, havent looked much variants above 50$ yet but modularity is very preferable because i wanted to get myself custom cables and i kinda dont think that normal cables connected to custom ones will fit behind my panel
(currently i have aerocool vx plus 500w)

Stay away from the Aerocool White.

Stay away from all Gamemax PSU's as well.

No they are correctly priced as they're safe and last 10y+

Sub 50$ crap PSU are overpriced cause they aren't safe and don't last long...

Cause ''underpaying'' can result in all your hardware dying with the PSU or your house burning down.
If you want to burn down your house, buy the Gamemax! Its quite good at it 🙂

You are very mistaken.. A cheapo bad PSU can easily kill your motherboard or GPU and even catch fire and burn your house down.

 

But if you don't believe in any of this, the Gamemax 800 is an excellent choice!
