1stPlayer PS-500BS APFC 500W PSU

The 1stPlayer PS-500BS is a budget ATX power supply with 500W power and active PFC, which comfortably covers a typical mid-range gaming or office configuration. The 80+ certification and efficiency up to 85% mean less heat and more stable operation compared to the cheapest no-name PSUs. It features a standard 120mm cooling fan and the full set of basic connectors for a modern system. The black casing and compact dimensions make it easy to install in most cases.

What you get is a power supply designed for real configurations, not just for paper specifications. With 2 PCI-Express 6+2 pin connectors, you can power a more serious gaming graphics card without relying on adapters. The standard 20+4 Pin ATX plus 4+4 Pin ATX/EPS guarantee compatibility with mainstream motherboards and CPUs. The universal input 100 – 240 VAC means that the PSU operates stably at different mains voltages. Active PFC helps provide cleaner power to components and better performance under load.

• 500W Power – sufficient for a standard gaming or work computer with a single GPU and several storage devices.
• 80+ Certification and up to 85% efficiency – less heat and lower losses compared to completely uncertified power supplies.
• 2 x PCI-Express 6+2 pin – gives you the freedom to power a modern graphics card without additional adapters.
• Standard ATX form factor and 150 mm length – easy installation in mainstream mid-tower and mini-tower cases.
• Active PFC – more stable system power and better performance with fluctuating mains voltage.
• 120mm fan – provides good cooling for the internal components of the PSU at a typical noise level for this class.
• Non-modular design – all cables are fixed, which simplifies installation in more basic configurations.

This power supply is suitable if you are building a budget or mid-range gaming build, home or office computer, and want something more sensible than the cheapest no-name PSUs, without exceeding your budget. If you are planning a high-end system with many drives, a powerful GPU, and aggressive overclocking, it is better to look towards higher-end and more powerful models.

The combination of 500W, 80+ efficiency, active PFC, and two PCIe connectors makes the 1stPlayer PS-500BS a practical choice for mainstream configurations where you seek a balance between price and sensible specifications.
