Hi guys,
I discovered a decent price on the RX 6600 XT, but my current PSU is Corsair V450. I’m thinking about upgrading.
I saw a used u9 500w for 35$ on the marketplace—it’s an older model, but I’m not too concerned.
Alternatively, there’s a Gamemax VP 700w for 37$, or an FSP HV PRO 85+ 650w for 49$.
Or maybe you have other ideas? I’m looking for something around 30$ to 50$ and live in Indonesia.
Thanks!

Found another discussion about the same issue from someone else in your area. Question – Is FSP HV PRO worth it or should I skip it altogether? I discovered this PSU some time back, but until now there wasn’t a detailed review of it. I’m not an expert on power supplies, so when a reliable YouTube channel reviewed this one—including testing and looking inside—it really caught my attention again, though I’m still unsure. forums. XPG I don’t really remember the name well; the ones you’re talking about are probably on the lower end. I’d suggest checking if any of the advice from that thread fits a budget. If not, if I were you, I might go with the game max if I couldn’t find or afford something better. They’re inexpensive but have decent Amazon reviews, and they should theoretically provide more power than needed if it runs efficiently. The place you want to avoid is one for power supplies. But I have to consider budget limits. Take a look at this while shopping. You’ll want a unit in tier A or...

The minimum is 500. Do you have a link to where you purchase? It would seem a bit questionable for the game Max. The 500 watt used model might not be significantly better than what you already own.

I came across a similar discussion on forums where someone else asked the same question from your area. The topic is whether an FSP HV PRO is sufficient or if it should be avoided altogether. I discovered this PSU some time ago, but there hasn’t been a detailed review recently. Since I’m not an expert on power supplies, a trusted YouTube channel that reviewed this unit, including its testing and internal components, caught my interest again. However, I’m still unsure. Forums. XPG I’m not familiar with the name well; the ones mentioned seem to be more affordable. I’d suggest checking if any of the suggestions in that thread fit a budget. If not, if I were you, I might go for the game max if I couldn’t find or afford something better. They’re inexpensive but have decent reviews on Amazon, and they should theoretically provide enough power if used properly. The place you shouldn’t compromise on is a good power supply. But budget limits are real. When shopping, consider a unit in tier A or B, but not lower than tier C.

Thank you for your guidance
I choose the XPG PYLON 650w since it's the only option available nearby.
