Replacement for Corsair CX400

I have been using Corsair CX400 ( Seasonic OEM ) for the last 11 years, the PSU is still working fine but i expect it wont last much longer. So looking for a replacement , i am currently running a i5 3470 based system with GTX 1650 super and would be replacing it with i3 12100 + B660 and same GPU.

Looking for a new similar built quality replacement, budget INR 3500. 400-450 watts should be sufficient.
 
As per this post https://techenclave.com/threads/cheap-reliable-400-450w-psu.208133/post-2389567 its a tier C PSU, is it in the same league as a Corsair CX400 ? I dont mind paying a little more for a better quality PSU.
Saw that Seasonic S12II is also in Tier C which is rebadged corsair cx400.
https://www.primeabgb.com/online-pr...plus-bronze-certification-psu-mpe-5501-acaab/ This model which is 100-240 V is supposed to be better than 230V but its no longer available anywhere.
Deepcool PM650D looks like a good deal at 4800 80+ gold. https://hwp.media/articles/review_of_the_deepcool_pm750d_power_supply_unit_who_needs_a_gold_piece_/

May I interest you in Corsair CX750 (2021) Bronze for 4K? If not, then the XPG Core reactor 650W Gold is available for 6.4K tier A PSU, it's a perfect pair for my 3060Ti.

Just putting a suggestion here. If possible, after you've finalized your PSU just check out the local market first. Chances are you'll get the item much cheaper than vedant or md.

Btw, I recently purchased a PSU and used this for reference. Most of the people of pcmasterrace/buildapc subreddit refer to this:-
