I wanna know if this psu is good enough for my build .
Specs :
Msi b150 gaming m3
I5 6500
1 1 TB hdd
1 120gb ssd
Gigabyte gtx1060 wind force 3gb.

Is the corsair cx450m good enough? I want a system with all black cables for a pretty cheap price

The CX450M is better than the CX430 which is a good thing .... I'd install it in an office build but not one used primarily for extensive gaming. On budget builds, the Seasonic S12 520 is about as cheap as I will go. It is a "great PSU for the money", but that's a different thing than "a great PSU". Im not saying your system is in danger, it's just a place that I personally am not willing to venture for my own builds or something I'd make for someone else.

The S12 430w is about $47
The S12 520w is about $47

The CX430M is usually about $50 ... but have seen it w/ rebates of late for 430

Here's some of the cons listed for the *new* 650M

Cheap Sleeve-bearing fan
Fan speed at light loads could be lower (noisy)
3.3V rail performance in Advanced Transient Response tests
Inrush current with 115V input (way too high)
Power Ok signal's hold-up time (power good signal too short)
Distance between peripheral connectors (too small)

My budget is max 55-60 bucks for psu. Right now this psu is going for only 50$ On amazon , which is vey good. I am not going to be gaming heavily . Maybe 3-4 games, some productivity , and everyday use .
