PSU upgrade help
My current PC specifications:
CPU: i3 12100f
COOLER: SE-224-XTS
RAM: 2x8GB @3200 CL16
MBO: Asus H610M-A D4
GPU: TUF GTX 1650 Super 4GB
SSD: Samsung 980 500GB and a 250GB HDD
PSU: LC power 6650 v2.2 (used last year, no issues so far but I prefer stability and don’t want risks)
Looking for PSU options that can support stronger GPUs like RX 5700X, RX 6600, or RTX 2060 Super in the near future. I’m planning to upgrade to a GPU in the next few years and also consider a more powerful card such as 3070 or 3070 Ti. I need a PSU that will last at least five years with my current setup. My budget is around 90 euros, and I was thinking about RMA650 or RMA750, but they’re currently priced above 130 euros. As someone from Serbia, prices there are higher than in the US, so I should explore all available options to find the best value for my money. Thank you in advance.
I was looking at a few options, but the prices seem too steep and the choices are quite narrow. Maybe I overlooked some alternatives.
Confidently, I trust it's correct. I purchase from a platform similar to Amazon, where there are quality items at affordable prices. You must look for the exact model. I buy from kupujemprodajem.com
I believe you should accumulate enough savings so your budget can accommodate a more expensive power supply unit.
Here is a useful table showing recommended wattage for different graphics cards:

Keep in mind that newer cards, such as the 3000 series, may experience significant power surges that not all PSUs can manage.
The positive aspect is that the jump in cost between 650w/750w/850w isn’t substantial.
A very powerful PSU will simply use only the wattage it needs, no matter its maximum rating.
Checking the warranty is another way to evaluate PSU quality; a 7-year warranty typically ensures a reliable product.
Avoid purchasing a low-cost PSU.
Found the site, I’m planning to get it from. Any of these options are available?

I checked further and 650w should suffice. By the time I upgrade the GPU, it will likely need more power. Probably won’t have a tight budget, so I’ll go for the cheapest option on this list that should last me 3-5 years without common quality control issues. It shouldn’t have any problems if I return it or send it back for RMA—it wouldn’t be a hassle.
