Mars Gaming MP800 800W

Galveia · May 14, 2017

Hi.
I bought a PSU last year from 1Life (I know, horrible choice, but I didn't know at the time) 600W. It broke down recently and I'm using my old PSU (400W) without my GPU. This is my computer:
CPU - X5460 (OC 1.5V 4.0Ghz)
GPU - MSI GTX 760
RAM: 4x2GB DDR2
The site of OuterVision - PSU Calculator says I need 653W.
I think the minimal power of the PSU is 745W (59*12/0.95). But as it's not certified and I'm not an expert, I don't really know.

Here are screenshots of the site with my rig:

Does anyone think I can trust on this PSU (Mars Gaming MP800 800W) for this computer?
Or if it's a horrible choice, can you give me some examples of good PSU around 50$?

Thanks in advance.

Use Imgur to show pictures here and make sure we know what psu is talked about,means name maker/model and wattage.
Also when using Imgur use the ".IMG" code.Or make a link to the picture itself and use the add a picture button on top of the post.

Thanks. I didn't know that site. I updated the post with the screenshots. The PSU is the one from the title (which is in the post too now).

I wouldn't pick that psu,looking at it does it show signs of low quality. No other options?
Looking at what i assume is close by would i look at this for the cheapest option,

or maybe this,

Thanks for the answer. I would be more comfortable with 650W than with 620W. I've been looking and I found this one: Corsair VS Series VS650W - 65$ in a portuguese site. Do you think it's a good option?
By the way, how can you know if it's low quality just looking at it? I would like to be able to know too (just asking, not judging).

An 800watt psu with just two pcie cables that costs that amount of money generally isn't very good,not mentioning the low amount of other connectors or that there isn't even decent sleeving. I know that seems a bit narrowminded way of looking at it,but in practice it's most of the times true.

The VS series of Corsair isn't very good either (with the yellow VS).There seems to be a new series (black and white as the other new series), but haven't seen info about those yet.But you talk about a 650watt which is the old and not very good series.
