How's EVGA's warranty? Is it worldwide? No one in my country sells their PSUs..
That cooler master psu seems good though.
I don't mind flashing the MOBO. How's the one you suggested compared to the PRO-VDH and the Steel Legend? Same price range.
Here in Greece EVGA’s warranty is 3 years for PSUs.

All those boards seem nice. The MSI B450 Gaming Plus ATX has a little more features, except RGB (personally I don’t care) and has the BIOS flashback button I see that now. You can bios flash it without any cpu installed. And it’s very convenient if the board hang for any reason and don’t post or clear cmos. In general MSI has a very good line of B450 boards.

I'd still suggest RM550x over the 650 if there is a decent price difference

The Asrock Pro 4 is a much better choice than the PRO-VDH or the Steel Legend.

The Meshify C is fine as well if that's the case. I thought you were buying parts in the US.

As for the SSD, I think I changed my mind, Sabrent Rocket has been proven to be quite reliable on Amazon. I made that statement considering that there are very little reviewers covering it, but it turns out that after re-figuring it out having good reviews on Amazon is enough for me.

I know nothing about warranties in your country, but if you're looking for PSU according to performance and noise, here's my list:

Super Flower Leadex III / Corsair RMx / EVGA Supernova G3 / G2 > Corsair RM (black) / Seasonic Focus Plus > Bitfenix Formula Gold / Seasonic Focus non-modular > BeQuiet Pure Power / Corsair CX (grey) / Evga Supernova B3

Find anything that has a good warranty and fits your budget.

Are the evga PSUs reliable? I can't seem to figure out from the reviews.

Yes I believe I'll go with the Pro4

Oh how I wish I had bought parts in the US, so much more than what I have here

How are the evga PSUs? Reliable?
Also is the RMX much better than the CX? Its 26€ more and I don't know if its worth it for my needs (not going to OC anything)

You don't NEED as good of a PSU as an RMx, but my personal view is to not cheap out on them no matter what. They can slightly affect the longevity of your components, noise levels will be lower, and good PSUs can last such a long time. Still have a very old corsair HX850 silver, from somewhere around 2010-2012, still churning 24x7 on an lga1366 system. Fan is getting noisy now but otherwise it's lovely

For that small of a price difference, I'd say go for it

I believe I explained why the Pro 4 was my much preferred choice before. The RMx is much better than the CX, as far as getting your system running reliably for years is concerned. Gold and above EVGA PSUs are generally reliable, while their bronze and white units are sometimes hit and miss.

The RMX 2018 is currently the best gold efficiency PSU corsair has made in collaboration with channel well technology OEM
