Hello everyone, I recently purchased a prebuilt unit from about a month ago. The specifications were as follows: CPU – Ryzen 5 5600, RAM – ASUS Prime B550M-K, GPU – ASUS Dual RTX 3060 OC, Case – Vento VG11A, Power Supply – FSP Hyper 80 + Pro 650W. The main issue I have is with the PSU; it seems to be quite poor quality and I intend to replace it. On the FSP website it mentions it's an 80+ white, but originally it was bronze, and there’s a bronze sticker on my unit. After some research, I found a review in Russian, but there’s limited information about this PSU. It isn’t listed on the Cultists forum or the PSU tier list, so I’m considering changing it this month and would appreciate your advice on which option is best among the ones I’ve seen.
XPG Pylon 650W Bronze for around 69 USD
Corsair CX650M 650W Bronze at similar price
Corsair CV650 for about 58 USD
Gigabyte P650B for roughly 54 USD
Cooler Master MWE Bronze V2 650W – unsure if it supports full range or 230V, around 67 USD
Will any of these PSUs work well with my build? Or are all of them problematic? Unfortunately, my budget is limited to these models, and I’m in a country facing an unprecedented economic crisis. Everything seems overpriced, and most products are out of stock.
Note: I won’t be OCing any of these units.
The PSU isn't excellent, but you shouldn't stress about replacing it unless PSUs aren't readily accessible for purchase right now.
It comes from a trustworthy manufacturer and has an 80+ rating or higher.
It's not perfect, but I think you can run your PC with it safely for the next few months to a couple of years, and switch it out when better options appear at a more affordable price.
The top PSU in this group is the CX650m, though I wouldn't upgrade to it because it doesn't offer a substantial improvement.
The Pylon and CXM are similar, sharing the same platform but differing in fan quality, with the CXM being semi-modular. The CV650 is a decent option, just lagging behind the Pylon and CXM. The Gigabyte is considered poor, like most of their products. For Cooler master, performance depends on the input; the full range works, but the 230v EU version isn't ideal. With an RTX 3060, I’d favor a newer PSU with an LLC resonant converter on the primary side. The Cooler master’s quality is quite low. Can you share a link to a PSU webshop in your country?
My computer won't blow up this summer if I keep using that PSU, since the heat here is intense.

Your budget is limited to 2000 egp, but I can increase it by 10% if something really helps a lot. Thanks for your assistance.
No, it won't explode. That PSU isn't expected to last long, but it should handle a few more years if used for another year or two. I recommend placing the PSU fan away from the GPU and CPU to avoid heat buildup.
