No, it's not a bad psu. It's not the best unit but shouldn't have issues or blow out. 

 

Your current Rosewill Arc is fine and your system uses ~400w at load--not 600w. Avoid psu calculators in the future and look at actual power draw benchmarks instead.

so, recently I built my first gaming PC you can see that here

 

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/532082-good-value/

 

And within that build I bought a rosewill ARC 650W bronze Power supply.

After that post i realized i needed a new power supply (seriously check out the comments)

 

Anyways my Pc is using about 600W of power

Finally i was wondering what PSU i should get? preferably low cost (like around or under $70 US)

Anything from reliable brands like Corsair EVGA (which i use) and cooler master but i would recommend the EVGA supernova 750 mainly because i use the 650 watt version of it and so fats its been great

I'm not going to get too specific but EVGA's G2 and XFX XTR series are good PSUs. Just check out the versions that deliver the right amount of watts.
