Is Acer AC 650w 80+ Bronze fully Modular PSU any good for running RX 570 8GB GDDR5 ?

[nahin27]

Actually I have a couple of PSUs to choose from and currently on a low budget. So these are the PSUs that are within in my budget and are currently available in my region:

1STPLAYER DK 5.0 PS-500AX 500W 80 PLUS BRONZE Non-Modular ATX Power Supply
Gigabyte P550B 550W 80 Plus Bronze Certified Power Supply
1STPlayer PS-600AX Bronze Full Modular Power Supply
Corsair CX Series CX550 550W 80 PLUS Bronze ATX Power Supply
Acer AC-650 650W 80 Plus Bronze Full Modular Power Supply
DeepCool PK650D 650 Watt 80 PLUS Bronze Power Supply
Cooler Master MWE 550W V2 230V Non-Modular 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply

I am not sure which one to choose and in doubt about their build quality. I would actually like a fully modular one since there is always an option to change the cables if one stops working and more headroom for airflow.

what country?

 

usually for the price of a throwaway 650w bronze youll be able to find an rm850x or equivalent psu used thatll be of much higher quality and even be gold rated + modular psus so not only can you carry them over to newer builds theyll be abit easier on your power bill and you dont have to deal with cable managing unused cables

 

if you still want a new psu anyways the acer will be just fine, if you really want to make sure then check the customer reviews or go browse around see if theres any known issues with it

 I am kinda skeptic in using 2nd hand stuff especially when it comes to PC components because the last time my cousin bought a 2nd hand RX 480 and it didn't last long. And I am from Bangladesh

psus are very safe to buy used especially high end units and i always buy used psus no real issues for the most part, most people dont consider buying used psus or have an aversion towards them so you usually wont find scams here

 

gpus yea those are pretty scam prone so no wonder

TBH I've always been sketched out by used PSUs. Not really sure why. CPUs and GPUs have always been pretty solid for me. Only scam in my personal circle was a buddy who found a "deal" on a 1070 and got a 710 with hacked firmware, but that was a standard eBay scam and got a fast refund.

Unfortunately there is not market for used PSUs where I live. People only sell used GPU or CPU or CPU coolers. And those have issues

welp i cant really complain when this mentality lets me snag some really good psus for dirt cheap

 

here in indo an andyson px 1200w is now 40$ and thats and actually good unit aswell even if its tier b on the psu tierlist though there isnt really a diff between a and b tier in reality anyways, my country has local eshop apps so most of the deals are on those which means its shipped to my door

Yea there are no listings for it, not even in the facebook marketplace. Like I said people here don't resell PSUs they either resell CPU or GPU or coolers. The use PSUs until it gets unusable and they eventually gets rid of it

get MWE v2

it used a higher tier platform and elite topology even tho cheap price, it's tested as well by hardware buster, pk-D also fine but definitely lower tier thn mwe

other i wouldn't recommend, cx2023 having different part thn cx2021 so no cuz not much review on 2023ver from the inside tho look same like CV which is meh. acer aswell since there's lot of missing part in you look at teardown review 

if u interested on acer cuz modular, enermax marblebron is much better options even tho semi mos
