I won't give further guidance in this discussion.
What makes Seasonic unique compared to Corsair and 550 isn't something I'm going to address further here.

I’m focusing on skipping most of this and addressing the question directly. You’re looking for overclocking options under $50 with some room for upgrades.

I’d consider spending a bit more if needed, but I get it if the budget is tight.

For power supply options beyond this range, an Evga G2/G3 or Seasonic Focus gold would exceed your budget, so I’ll stop there.
