So I am putting a pc togethor and am looking for a PSU. I can only spend up to 80 bucks and don't care about if it is modular. I saw this on Amazon for 80- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UVN20UO/ref=twister_B01LXKQ07C?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

But I also heard this Seasonic PSU was good- https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151119&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Power+Supplies-_-N82E16817151119&gclid=Cj0KEQjw2LjGBRDYm9jj5JSxiJcBEiQAwKWAC5O8V9DtnniBD1C0QATNTFOp2UkYNP2nSfB6SfX4djQaAu5k8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

My setup will include-
Motherboard- ASRock Z170A-X1/3.1
CPU- i5 6600k
GPU- Strix ROG RX 480 OC 8gb or MSI Gaming RX 480 8gb
Ram- Anything that will be 2x8gb 16gb
Storage- 240gb ssd and 1tb Harddrive
CPU cooler- Cryoig H7, C7, or 212 EVO
Optical Drive- Some random Optical Drive that is just DVD

I will be overclocking a little to make use of the 6600k and z170 board so I think 500 is what i want but leave suggestions.

Both are great models from great brands. Honestly for your system any 550 W + power supply will work. If you plan on any upgrades in the future, you could get an EVGA 650W Bronze PSU for about $40-50

700-800 bucks but already have the Motherboard which was 60 bucks and my cousin gave me the ssd, hard drive, and case. Trying to spend the least I can but not trying to buy cheap broken parts from shady companies.

Well the case I have is a Sentey CS1-1399 but i also have a bigger Cooler Master HAF series case. And the ssd is a SanDisk 240gb Extreme ssd. That was all my cousin gave me actually. i thought he gave me a hard drive but he didn't. The motherboard that I bought too already is a ASRock Z170a -X1/3.1.
