so I need a PSU for my build because I don't know how old my current one is I know I need around 436w so I'm getting a 500w  but  i don't know wich one to get i need 6x SATA no Molex i have a 1050ti so no 8/6 pin however i would like a PSU with a 6 pin because my card has a place for a 6 pin and I'm planning on soldering that on for overclocking my budget is around 50 euro but if there is something amazing I can spend 60 but 50 is preferred in making a desk PC build so i don't want any extra cables

Well $50-$60 isn't much, and you shouldn't cheap out on a PSU. If you do you might as well stay with your current one.

More wattage doesn't generally mean it's a better power supply, quality>wattage.

 

Look for the GREY labeled Corsair CXM series, they're good for budget builds.

CX550M for you maybe?

the issue with mine is it's from a 14-year-old PC wich has been upgraded with this PSU so for all I know its 6 years old the brand its from is a good brand however so I'm a bit split and the issue with buying from Newegg for me is shipping wich means this PSU will cost me 102 us

Ah my bad, I reread and realized you meant euro.

Remeber that brand doesn't really matter, there are good and bad PSU's from almost every brand.

 

Look up the CX550M in stores near you, e-shops or local tech stores, whichever suits you. :)

I'd look at CXM grey sticker units or Seasonic m12ii or m12ii evo units.

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

What are the specs of your system? I'm 99% certain it won't demand 436 watts and if it does then you must have so many CPUs because no 1050 Ti system uses 430W. A system with a 6950X and 1050 Ti would use a bit over 200W...

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
