Good PSU for 50-80$

Looking for a reliable power supply priced between $50-80 USD. Ideally aiming for A or B tier on the Cultist Network PSU tierlist, but C is acceptable. I'm located in the US (not near a microcenter). My current build includes the following.

- Ryzen 5 5600G
- ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming Motherboard
- Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18
- TEAMGROUP MP33 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 3.0 X4 NVME

Planning to start with the 5600G and upgrade to a RX 6600 or better in the future.

 I think it's best to look for used power supplies, and around 550W+ if you plan on upgrading, just make sure it's not a no name brand. Corsair psu's are pretty good, and you can find them used often

well someones got the right idea though youd be looking at 750/850w rm(x) or equivalent around the 40-60$ range

 

dunno about lower wattage units but i assume theyd also be pretty cheap, might even find one of those really low wattage seasonic fanless units with titanium efficiency which would work fine for a 5600g + 6700xt (new 6600 is a stupid buy when used 6700xt is ~200$) as long as you put a fan on it afaik

MSI MAG 650BN

It's Tier C iirc but not sure any Tier B or A exists at this price point
