[SOLVED] 500W, 550W, or 600W?

[Orvei]

My pc specs:
Rx 580 4gb
Ryzen 5 3600
16gb ddr4 266mhz

I had a 450W power supply that burned out. How many watts do I need? I have never overclocked and I don't plan on doing it.

I'd go 550W absolute minimum. 650W to be on the safe side.

Check this tier list...

A good quality 550w. Quality is just as important as wattage. A high quality 550w is better than a low quality 750w.

550w would be ok.

I have no problem overprovisioning a PSU a bit. Say 20%.
It will allow for a stronger future graphics card upgrade.
It will run cooler, quieter, and more efficiently in the middle third of it's range.
A PSU will only use the wattage demanded of it, regardless of it's max capability.

Of more importance is that the psu should be of good quality.

An ok psu is the Corsair CX550. A high quality psu is the Seasonic Focus GX550

Is the EVGA 600 BR better, worse, or similar to the Corsair CX550?

Antec NE550M is decent PSU

Worse, I’d avoid

Antec EA Gold Pro is Seasonic Focus Gold based PSU. It has 80+ Gold and 7 years guarantee
