I have a PC from B grade parts and Members Market items and stuff i had spare. The PSU i currently have is clearly poo @pastymuncher

. If i put the PSU into daily use, what should i be looking at 550w ? 650w. i may upgrade the CPU when i see a cheap 1700 , 2600, 2700 in the MM

MSI R9 390
Gigabyte B450 Motherboard
Ryzen 1200 CPU
16GB RAM
240gb m.2
750gb 2.5 SSD
240 AIO Cooler
total 5 fans
cougar stx 550 PSU

may get a psu from mm if one pops up, but shortlist of the below

1 x Super Flower Leadex III ARGB 550W 80 PLUS Gold Modular Power Supply - Black= £104.99
1 x Seasonic Prime Ultra Gold 550W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £104.99

I wouldn't pay over £100 for a psu for that setup. A Bitfenix Formula 550W would be fine for £66.95, although out of stock at the moment.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

1 x Bitfenix Formula Series 550W 80 Plus Gold Power Supply= £66.95

Total: £77.45 (includes shipping: £10.50)

there looks like a shortage of PSU at the moment, 80% are out of stock

Third result using startpage search for me.

I can see it, but that vendor is ropey as hell, they send me a keyboard before with a whole area of the keys had been crushed and wouldnt spring back up. i returned it and they charged me a restocking fee. and refused to give me a full refund

Kurgen · 19 May 2020 at 10:23

well they didnt believe that these keys had the spring squashed and they you couldnt use them. so i have my doubts whether any of them have actually used a PC

Good evening, Thank you for your email. Looking at my system my colleagues found no faults with the keyboard and as a result we would not reimburse the postage.
Kind Regards,

@the shadow why are you sending multiple trusting emails to my personal address when you can see that i have already bought a PSU, not only that the link you sent to a competitor wasnt even available , and im pretty sure its against the rules

@Space Monkey ...
