I need assistance choosing a different power supply unit for an older build.
I need assistance choosing a different power supply unit for an older build.
After my wife upgraded to a 13400F and DDR5, her old parts are ready to be poured into one last build.

It's a decidedly retro build, but there's one part I'm not keeping retro. The power supply.
My first thought, since the case has a window and I'm already using the Razer hub, is a CX750F. It's a good B tier PSU and plenty bright. But it looks like it's currently out of stock...
So hey T'HW, send me your recommendation for a PSU for this build. I'm located in the USA with a budget of $80, ideally looking for a PSU that's less than $60 before tax, and isn't a bomb threat.
This product is both retro and of good quality, fitting the budget well:

I Dont Belive CX550F is a bad PSU.. Its good for its price.. Yeah RGB adds a little premium too... but its fine...
Capacitors are Decent. Design is modern and looks are A++ , I will say.. its very popular in m y country (here in India).
So in my view Not an issue you can choose this PSU..

It turns out I bought a used RM650 for $52 from a nearby seller. I received the 2021 model with the black label, following the seller's request to upgrade for powering their new 3090.
