Hello fellow users...
I just bought a graphics card and my power supply is 500W, it doesn't provide enough power, after a while it stops working.
I don't want to mess it up, what do you think about these power supplies for my PC?
Which one should I choose?
UNYKAch ATX Power Supply Courage 850W
Mars Gaming MPIII750, PC Power Supply 750W
Or which one do you recommend?
Thank you very much!!!

@darko
Well, it depends on the card...
None are of very high quality. The first one doesn't even have certification and Mars Gaming... I have a Mars Gaming 80+Bronze of 650W that hasn't given me any problems but I'm moving an RX6600XT and a Erying board with a laptop i7... Normally I have it at 50% and it doesn't suffer. Still, it's not a brand I would recommend.

In PC assembly there is an unwritten rule that is the balance between components. If the card is high-end, the rest of the components should also be high-end. If it's mid-range, then the rest of mid-range and if it's low-end, then you know how it goes... XD

*You don't need to spend 120€ on a power supply even though there are even more expensive ones,

Indeed, depending on the graphics card and its consumption we can evaluate recommendations.

And in general, a power supply that offers features such as high efficiency, high amperage on the +12V line or lines, active PFC (almost all have it already) and DC-DC circuit is preferable.

Personally, I would not stray from the mid/high ranges of recognized brands like Corsair or Seasonic.

Hello
The graphics card is an rx580, and my processor is an i5 2500k, mounted on an asrock Z68 Pro3 Gen3, it's getting a bit old, I know...

@darko I have had the same setup and it works wonderfully with a Corsair TX650.

Obviously it is already discontinued, but in the same style you have the Corsair RM650, Corsair CX650 or even the MSI MAG A650BN, the latter being the most economical but very complete and with 5 years of warranty.

Hello
The graphics card is an rx580, 8 GB, and my processor is an i5 2500k, mounted on an asrock Z68 Pro3 Gen3, it's already a few years old, I know...

Hello Sylver..
I am considering the MSI MAG A650BN 650W 80 plus bronze, I have seen that it has a price of about 60 euros, for the price I think it is good.
Innocent question... will 650W be enough???
Thank you very much for your interest. I also want to thank pos_yo...

@darko Needless to say. I have a build with a Xeon and an RX580 2048SP with a 500W power supply

[darko]

Muchísimas gracias!!!

@darko Correct, more than enough. I already told you that I run that identical setup with a Corsair 650W.
And before that, I had a crossfireX of HD 5850 Xtreme, about 151W peak each, and they have been holding up for almost 10 years, the power supply without a hair out of place (still in use today).

MSI MAG A650BN 650W 80 plus bronze

Hello fellow users!!!
In the end I have acquired this power supply MSI MAG A650BN 650W 80 plus bronze, which you recommended...for two weeks everything was perfect and overnight my PC stopped working, it does nothing.
I tested the power supply with the clip method, connecting it to the PS_ON and GND, and the fan started working and I could hear the noise of the mechanical hard drives connected, and the blue light of a USB drive.
Can I rule out that the fault is with the power supply?
This afternoon I plan to check the voltages on the ATX pin to see if they are correct, but I am turning to you for advice
Thanks!!!

Hello @darko

Normally if the power supply disconnected from the computer works when you bridge it (as it seems you have done), you can rule it out as a fault.

If the computer itself does absolutely nothing with that power supply, I would try booting with another power supply.
If it still does nothing, you have it. Probably the motherboard is dead.
It's something that also happened to me in its day, and the power supply survived perfectly.

Hello Syler
Well yes, I checked with another source and the computer does nothing and by bridging the two sources they start. Well it's going to be the motherboard that has passed on.
And abusing your trust, I'm looking at this processor and this motherboard...what do you think???
I don't want to spend a lot of money
motherboard Gigabyte A520M H
processor AMD ryzen 5 4500 3,66ghz

Hi again @darko

I'm sorry that in the end the board said enough.
If you're not going to play in general and the graphics card you bought was indeed the RX580, I think it's a very good upgrade for little money.
That said, also add the RAM, which is DDR4.

Best regards

@Sylver OK
Thanks for your advice....I've already bought motherboard, processor and memory, I receive everything between Monday-Tuesday.
Yes...the graphics card I bought in the end was the RX580.
Thank you very much Sylver!!!
