The Deepcool PL650D costs less 59 euros, which is a bottom low price for an ATX v3.1 PSU. You should not expect a modern platform at this price, but still the PSU can deliver up to 200% of its max power for short periods, making compatible with the PCIe 5.1 CEM.
The Deepcool PL650D is included in my best ATX v3.x & PCIe 5.x PSU picks article.

Deepcool is the first to offer highly affordable ATX v3.1 PSUs through its PL-D series. I have already evaluated the PL800D and the PL750D, both of which performed decently given their price tags. It is not easy for an older design to output 200% of its max power to be compatible with the requirements of the PCIe 5.1 CEM, but Helly Technology achieves that. The PL-D line consists of four members, with capacities ranging from 550W to 800W. In this review, I will evaluate the third member of the line.
