The PSU on my PC has just died (Corsair CX600). Can anyone recommend a decent replacement for it, as that model has now been discontinued?

Specs are:
B450 Aorus Elite
32GB RAM
Ryzen 7
Geforce GTX 1660 Super 6GB Twin Fan
4 x SATA drives
NVMe SSD

I don't do any gaming - just productivity type apps, and occasional video editing.

Would the Corsair CV650 80 PLUS Bronze be a decent replacement?

No, that's a terrible psu. For the same price you could get the gold rated Seasonic G12-GC-650w with a longer warranty at 5 years.

You say you have a Ryzen 7 but not which one. A 2700, 3700, 5800 3Dx?

I suspect a decent 550w psu would be more than enough for your pc, depending on the cpu. In that case I would buy a fully modular Gold rated unit such as the Superflower Leadex III 550w ARGB which is on offer at the moment for only £72 and has a 7 year warranty.
The CPU is a 2700X. Looks like the Seasonic is discontinued, and the earliest I can get any PSU delivered from the site is Tuesday. Not sure I want to wait 4+ days to have my machine back :0(
