Te lower wattage PSU is quieter and will be more efficient (if only ever so slightly) during idle time or low load situations. Also cheaper.

All set and in peace now lol. Thanks btw!! Hope you help more first time builders like me. :)

Hey guys!

Best PSU under $50 for my PC? If there is one...

 

  • i5-4670K (stock)
  • 2*4GB Kingston HyperX Predator RAM
  • 250GB Intel SSD
  • GIGABYTE-GA-Z87-HD3
  • SAPPHIRE RX 480 NITRO+ 4GB

I don't think I'll OC but maybe. Thanks in advance! (I'm from a very poor country and I can't afford to buy an expensive PSU at the moment.:( )

If you're saying you'r from a poor country, you should give us some links to your online stores. Available power supplies wildly vary by region, as do their prices.

Stores you can buy from?

Like mentioned above, the Corsair CX/CXM 450W version would be a good bet. Do you have the Cooler Master MasterWatt? That's fine too.

|PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.

I can buy a new "EVGA 450 B3" for $47 but it only has 1 month of warranty, should I get it?

Some review samples of the B3 blew up under stress test iirc (that's why it's in t5).  May still be alright for your build but try to find something a tad better.

Sometimes I get builder's itch

No, because you don't go overwatt and Warranty is done by the Dealer anyway.

Yeah, I'll, I just hope my PC won't blow up or the PSU won't kill my GPU or something else. Thanks for help guys! My RX 480 will arrive next week and if I can't find a decent PSU for a decent price I'll sell my GPU...

Performance A+ 430w is 41 Euro: https://www.amazon.de/XILENCE-Performance-XN060-Netzteil-Watt/dp/B015T3GZHO/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1533319324&sr=1-1&keywords=Xilence+Performance+A%2B

Ehh,  CX is fine, and internally I'd take it over either of the other units (Half Bridge topology vs double forward), it's just pushing OP's budget, esp after shipping

3e more for better internals and a brand I've heard of (Xilence? Who are they?) would be worth it to me and it's not much money anyway
