MSI MAG A550BN Gaming Power Supply - 80 Plus Bronze Certified 550W - Compact Size - ATX PSU

I have been delving into selling pc's on the side. I have sold three mostly budget builds and have used this as a great C-Tier power supply that can support some decent upgrades. I find semi modular designs the best because only the absolute required cables are permanent and then you can add as needed. This unit also has a smaller footprint that makes it nice for Micro ATX builds or even small form factor ITX builds that support ATX power supplies. It runs well, quiet and the cables are nice and flexible. I have used the 650 and 750 watt variations in both for sale builds my personal computers. It is not the cheapest power supply but it is one of, if not the best value for budget to mid tier builds. 5 out of 5.

I recently upgraded my gaming setup with the MSI MAG A650BN Power Supply, and it's been an excellent decision. This 650W PSU is 80 Plus Bronze certified, which was a major selling point for me. It means the unit is not only energy efficient but also reliable in power delivery, a crucial aspect for gaming rigs.The compact size of the MSI MAG A650BN is a big advantage. It fits easily into my gaming case, leaving ample room for airflow and other components. Despite its smaller size, it packs a punch in performance, handling my gaming load without any issues.The build quality is solid, giving me confidence in its durability and long-term performance. It runs quietly, even under load, which is a pleasant surprise and adds to a more immersive gaming experience.Another aspect I appreciate is the range of connectors and the length of the cables. They are sufficient for a clean and organized setup, allowing for easy cable management.Overall, the MSI MAG A650BN Gaming Power Supply is a top-notch choice for gamers or anyone building a PC who needs a reliable, efficient, and compact power supply. It offers great value for its features and performance, and I highly recommend it.

replaced a Corsair RM750 which suddenly expired that was on MSI pro Z790 P WiFi MB paired with Intel 12600 KF MSI/NVIDIA RX3060 Ventus and 64 GB ram@6000 MT. Quiet, easy to install in full size ATX case, no problems with length of cables. Appears to be of good quality build as well. Happy with purchase.

great psu with semi modular for aesthetic cable hope it will last long enough overall its a great cheap psu

Worked right away. Typical MSI quality.

Pretty good for the money if you are on a budgetPros:- hasn’t broken on me yet so that’s a plus- works as it should and supplies enough power for a 2600x and 5700xt at least- is a C tier PSU on the PSU tier listCons:- cables are really stiff and hard to move which makes it harder to installExtra:- I don’t know the temps or noise because my PC is loud in general and I use noise cancelling headphones

At 650 watts, this thing even out powers the HUGE linear supply on my old IMSAI - yet runs quietly and cool. What more could you ask for?

Nice PSU for the price. Everything comes sealed up nice, unit does not come with a little bag for extra cables but that's what the box is for. Cable quality is solid, unit is quiet I mean I don't really ever hear it.
