Any suggestions for a good 550W power supply?

Posted by comradejenkens@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 6 comments

Doing a new build and I've settled on a 550W PSU for it, as that gives me plenty of spare capacity for the future.

I've always used the Corsair CX series, first the 550W and then the 650W, and both worked for years on end perfectly, so was looking to get another Corsair CX550. Turns out they're a lot more difficult to get these days and all I can find is the Corsair CV550 and CV650, and every thread on those says to avoid them.

So what would some good alternatives to the Corsair CX550 be?

Here's a PSU tier list, I recommend everything tier A and Tier B (Tier b without speculative Position) - A is better

Down until Tier C without tier c speculative Position is also fine for budget iGPU systems (no extra GPU), but I wouldn't recommend these if you introduce a dedicated GPU to the system

May you find a good one within your budget in that list

So.. which one you got. I am on the same lookout as you were

I ended up getting the MSI MAG A550BN. Been happy with it so far, but this PC is still less than a year old so will have to see how it holds up long term.
