Low Cost PSU for Backup PC

Hi everyone, I am putting together a i37100 based backup system and am looking for a reasonable PSU. Albeit I do not plan to spend too much for obvious reasons, including that it won't be used too much. I would also run my AMD 6500XT on it along with probably a sata magnetic storage HDD.

Are there any low cost options that are reasonably reliable? I will spend more if I must but Id like to keep it not much above 1K if possible.
 
No branded PSUs come in that range. You can get local PSUs from offline stores. Needless to say nobody will recommend those here. Even Ant eSports and Antec Atom PSUs cost more than that, and nobody recommends those either.

Cheapest PSUs worth buying are Deepcool PF series and Coolermaster MWE series. But they cost close to 3k.

Hey I could explore that, could you give me a sense if older PSUs could have weaker capacitors or circuits by any chance? I read something to that effect on a reddit post. (Although I recognize that I do not have too much of a choice , given the price point that I hope to get it at).
