I've been dealing with some frustrating issues with my PC where the monitor suddenly shuts off while I'm gaming, showing a 'no video input' message. After thinking it was my RX580 GPU for a long time, I've recently come to realize that my PSU may actually be the issue. I'm planning to replace my current PSU, and I'm aiming for a model in the 600-650W range, with a budget of around 6000 RSD (about $60).
I'm hoping to find a PSU that will solve my video input problems and other issues like booting for a few seconds before switching off and restarting multiple times until it finally works. I don't plan on going over budget, but I understand the importance of getting a reliable power supply. While I'm not actively looking to upgrade my PC right now, a CPU upgrade might be on the horizon eventually since I'm bottlenecked there. Here are my specs:
CPU: i5-3470
GPU: RX 580 (8GB VRAM)
Current PSU: rs-460-psap-j3 (460W)
Motherboard: H61M-P20 (G3)
16 GB of RAM

With your current setup, I wouldn't recommend overspending on a PSU. Brands like Corsair, BEQuiet, or Seasonic are great options, and even a Bronze-rated model should be sufficient for your needs. There's really no reason to go for a premium PSU with your components.
Any reputable brand should be fine; don't overthink it! My PSU is from Sharkoon, and while they are a bit pricier, they're pretty reliable. Corsair and Cooler Master are good budget alternatives, so maybe check out one of those brands.
Budget is crucial for me too, and I tend to overthink my purchases! I found the COOLERMASTER MWE Bronze 650W V2 for around 52 euros online. Sounds like a solid option, right?
