[SOLVED] 550W PSU enough for this build?

[shrey1934]

is 550W going to be enough for this build:
Ryzen 5 3600
rtx 2060 super or rtx 3060
m2 ssd 500gb
500gb hdd
msi b550 gaming edge motherboard
16gb 3600mhz ram
normal air cooling no water cooling or overclocking

I wouldn't unless it's a top tier unit. What make/model?

If it's a good unit, no worries. Recommended minimums is 550w for a 3060 and 500w for a 2060S, and a 65w Ryzen just means extra headroom.

But that said, as said, that depends on the psu. Many cheap model psus will state proudly 500w or 550w capacity, but take a look inside and it's quite obvious they crash at just over 50% loads, in reality making them 300/350w psus at best.

A quality psu is essential, not just to actually get the wattage outputs claimed, but the protections, ripple control (stability!), thermal qualifications etc.

yeah 550 is fine as long as you don't plan on adding a second GPU

I think you'll be okay.

Yep, that unit will be fine.

550w is enough, and the TXM is of solid quality.
