    [SOLVED] Can you recommend me a good PSU?

    Hello folks! I'm going to be building a mid range desktop pc soon here. I am leaning towards a 1660 ti for my GPU, but possible a 2060 or 1070. CPU will probably be an AMD 1600x or 2600 or something in that range. This brings me to the PSU. Ideally I would like something atleast semi-modular...
