What is the best budget PSU for a mid-range gaming PC?

Question

I'm currently putting together a mid-range build with a Ryzen 5 and an RTX 3060, but I'm struggling to find a reliable PSU that won't break the bank. I'm looking for a solid 600W unit that's quiet and safe. Which budget-friendly models are actually trustworthy and won't risk my components?

> I'm looking for a solid 600W unit that's quiet and safe. Which budget-friendly models are actually trustworthy? yo, been there! i actually use the EVGA 600 BR, 80+ Bronze 600W Power Supply in my 3060 build and it works well, no complaints. compared to the Corsair CX650M 650 Watt 80 Plus Bronze Semi-Modular ATX PSU, it's cheaper but maybe a bit louder... tbh the Cooler Master MWE Bronze 600 V2 Power Supply is another solid pick. go Corsair for silence, but EVGA is the best value for ur money ngl. gl!

- MSI MAG A650BN 650W 80 Plus Bronze ($60) vs Thermaltake Smart BM2 600W 80+ Bronze ($55). - MSIs safer; unfortunately, budget units arent as good as expected. Best: MSI. Stay safe!!
