For the money, it seems like a solid deal; as mentioned, the PSU needs switched out ASAP though.

That being said, depending on your specific location and shipping costs, shopping from Germany or similar might be an option worth considering.

For example:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: AMD - Ryzen 3 1200 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor (€96.90 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Motherboard: ASRock - AB350M Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard (€59.02 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Memory: G.Skill - Ripjaws 4 Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2666 Memory (€95.99 @ Amazon Deutschland)
Storage: Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (€41.80 @ Amazon...

You could drop the case from that, as it's likely going to cost the most to ship, and pick something cheap(ish) up locally?

I actually don't understand. Do I need a more powerful PSU or a better company made PSU? What's the problem with the current PSU?

Neither of those.


You need a PSU with safety measures and decent capacitors built inside it. And it's not brand name nor total wattage that would give you that.
It's a specific model from a respectable brand.

That's why things like EVGA PSU or 750W generic PSU won't do. You gotta search for the exact model and get a review from it to see if it's really reliable. The one suggest in the build, is great, for you current rig i'd get it. If you can spend a bit more, i'd suggest trying to go a bit above 430W(still from a good model) tho 'cause if you ever want to upgrade your GPU to a more power-hungry unit, 430W might not cut it.
