I'm upgrading from a failing RX 570 and RX 5700, both of which died because of a faulty power supply. Since I'm in a third-world country, I really can't afford for the RTX 5050 to meet the same fate. I've looked at PSU tier lists, and the Gold version of this PSU is rated B+, which is solid for mid-tier builds, but I can't find any information regarding the Bronze version. Can anyone confirm if it's a reliable choice? I'm in a bit of a crunch as the stock is running low, so a quick response would be greatly appreciated!

Honestly, the Asus Prime 750W Bronze PSU should work perfectly with your RTX 5050. It's definitely more than enough for that card, and I doubt you'll run into any issues if you ensure you don't reuse that problematic PSU you had before. Just make sure it's installed properly and you should be good to go.
I appreciate the reassurance! Just a bit nervous since I've heard other PSUs in the same lineup have lower ratings but really just differ in energy efficiency. I can't afford another mishap with my new card.
I agree with GamerChick. As long as you upgraded from the PSU that caused your previous failures, you should be fine. Just remember that the tier lists can vary, and sometimes the ratings are more about efficiency than outright performance. But if this one has been rated decently, it should do the trick.
