I have an i3, 2 hard drives and 1050 GTX so no power hungry components.

The budget can be increased but I want reliability while keeping Pakistan's weather and electricity conditions.

All suggestion are welcome. Thank you.

For that price you should be able to get a CX or CV series corsair 600w or 650w PSU with 80+ bronze certification. This is more than enough for your PC and also gives you room for upgrades later on.

IMO, Corsair is probably the best PSU brand you can buy, mainly because of their QA/testing which is important when you consider Pakistani weather.

The CV650 is available on Czone for 11k

corsair 400w or 450w 80+ psu is more than enough for you.
GTX 1050 is not a power hungry gpu and you have a i3 system so you don't really need a bigger psu. if you are looking to upgrade your setup cpu and gpu in future then maybe you can purchase 500-550w good psu.
just when you are purchasing a psu look for a reliable psu which should be gold or bronze certified and should have 80% efficiency and you are good to go

Actually, I am looking to upgrade within a year or so to a later generation but I will not buy higher end GPU anyway.
Thank you for your suggestions, do you have a particular suggestion for 500 to 550w PSU? Obviously, gold certification will take me out of 12K range. So, any suggestions regarding Bronze certified PSU are very welcome. Thank you.

Ok. So, the overall reviews are satifactory considering the price of CV650. I think this PSU will be more than enough for my system.

You have any experience shopping at easetec? How are they? I personally never shopped there before.
And thanks for you help.

Actually Corsair CX or TX series power supplies are good but are now very expensive than they used to be.
You should also visit PG market place for psus because if you are able to find a good psu in new condition, it would be great.
Regarding current options, Thermaltake TR2 series is also good. if you are able to find it, its good, gold rate and cheaper than corsair.
or if you are able to find ANTEC power supplies those are also good.

@umar8 Yes the Corsair CV650 is more than enough for your system, by upgrading to it you will have the added benefit being able to change your GPU to something more powerful in the future without having to change your PSU again.

Easetec are official distributors of Corsair, Asus and Gigabyte in Pakistan are 100% recommended. Do try to negotiate a better price before buying might get a better deal than whats advertised on the website.

OP, kindly consult this when making your purchase decision.

This rating is based on what's inside the PSU rather than what's written on the box.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
