That build will have a max power draw of 350w to 400w region. So any decent quality unit from 450w onwards should do. If you want a bit of extra headroom, go with a quality 550w unit. Corsair CXM and Seasonic S12II/M12II are qulaity units on a budget. For better quality you can consider the EVGA Supernova or Corsair RMx variants.

Hi and welcome to Tom's forum.

Something between 750W and 850W would be more that enough for your rig with the future update that you have planned. Remember get a good PSU with at least a 80+ Silver certification and good manufacturers like Corsair, Seasonic, EVGA.

yeh and future upgrades will be drawing less power. (10xx, 2nd ssd). anyway, there was a brand new evga 450bt (total trash, ikr?) and a 2 year old corsair cx600 laying around so i chose the brand new one. hopefully i picked right lol.. i'll resurrect this post when it fails me.

Arguably even much lower. Considering the GPU:

Or with the GTX 1060, that's a 120W GPU and has trouble getting past. So 120W GPU + I suspect around 50W for that CPU (Ryzen is very efficient) and probably under 200W under load then.



I would have picked the CX honestly. Those EVGA BTs sell for like $20 so they must be real paperweights.
