Hey guys, i'm new here and i'll build a pc for some gaming (from LoL and DotA2, to some GTA 5 and Battlefield, Asetto Corsa, Playerunkown BG, and so on), 3Dmax, Autocad, Cinema 4D, and some Adobe software, but i keep making myself the same question....

Which PSU to pick?

The build is:

CASE: NZXT S340 Midi-Tower
MoBo: Gigabyte ATX GA-AX370-GAMING K7
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600
GPU: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 SC Gaming 6GB
RAM: Kingston HyperX FURY Black DDR4, 2133MHz 8GB
SSD: Lite-On MU3 PH5, 120GB, SATA III, 2.5"
HDD: Toshiba DT01ACA100 3.5'', 1TB, SATA III, 6 Gbit/s, 7200RPM
COOLER: CPU Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Extra Fans: Cougar CF-D12HB-R, 120mm, 1200RPM (Front of the case)
WLAN CARD: PCI Express Double band AC1200
SCREEN: LG 29UM58 LED 29'', Full HD, UltraWide, HDMI
MOUSE: Logitech G502
KEYBOARD: ---Still thinking about which one---

I'm aiming to stay with this build at least 5-6 years (maybe adding more ram from time to time)... past those 5 years i'm planing to start upgrading my build, but i need some help with PSU, cuz when time of upgrading comes i dont wanna spend my money in upgrading the PSU along with other components too...

THNX for any help guys, opinions about other components are also apreciated... :3

I suggest you get a good-quality ~550W PSU with at least 7-year warranty minimum. The wattage would be more than enough for your current rig (even a ~400W PSU can run it), but, in case you decide later on to upgrade some components (such as a more powerful GPU like the GTX 1070/1080), then, you'll be covered already by the PSU's ample headroom. No point in getting a PSU higher than ~650W if you are not thinking about multi-GPU setups (~650W is overkill for a single GPU setup, but, you can get the ~650W if the price is almost the same as the ~550W). The 7-year warranty (minimum) will also allow you to stretch your PSU's longetivity, that is, your preference of not upgrading your PSU after 5 years when you start to do some (major)...
