Power supply 1stPlayer PS-500FK PSU 500W APFC 80 Plus

1stPlayer PS-500FK is an ATX power supply with 500W and 80+ certification, aimed at budget and mid-range configurations. The combination of active PFC and up to 85% efficiency gives you more stable power and less loss. With a 120mm fan and standard ATX format, it fits easily into most cases. The black color and lack of RGB make it a discreet choice for cleaner builds.

What you get

With a nominal power of 500W, you can comfortably power a typical office or mid-range gaming system, as long as you are not chasing the most power-hungry high-end components. The two PCI-Express 6+2 pin connectors allow you to install a more serious GPU without relying on adapters. The four SATA and two Molex connectors give you enough options for SSDs, HDDs, and peripherals. Active PFC improves the quality of power from the grid and helps maintain more stable voltages on the 3.3/5/±12 V lines. Built-in protections like UVP, OVP, OPP, SCP, and Lightning Protection protect your system from network issues or overload.

• Power 500W – suitable for budget and mid-range configurations with a separate graphics card, without extreme consumption requirements.
• 80+ certification and up to 85% efficiency – less loss in heat and more stable operation under typical load.
• Active PFC – better power factor correction and more efficient use of the input 100–240 VAC power supply.
• 2 x PCI-Express 6+2 pin – ready for a graphics card that is powered by up to two PCIe connectors, without the need for additional adapters.
• 4 x SATA and 2 x Molex – enough connectivity for several SSDs/HDDs, fans, and older devices.
• 120mm fan – standard size for better airflow and quieter operation compared to smaller fans.
• Protections UVP, OVP, OPP, SCP, Lightning Protection – protection of components against drops or spikes in voltage, overload, short circuit, and issues in the electrical network.
• Compact ATX format, length 140mm – easy installation even in shorter cases, without hitting the drive cage.

Who it is suitable for

This power supply is a good choice for a budget or mid-range gaming build, office/home computer, or upgrade of an older system when you are looking for something standard and reliable without unnecessary extras. If you are planning a multi-core high-end CPU and top-class GPU with high consumption, it is better to aim for higher power and a higher class PSU.

The most sensible thing here is the combination of 500W, 80+ efficiency, Active PFC, a full set of connectors, and protections, all packed in a compact ATX format without unnecessary embellishments.
