So I plan to build a PC for lumion, sketchup, etc. And the list is:

Procie : Ryzen 1700x
GPU : INNO3D GTX1080Ti ICHILL X4 11GB DDR5
MB : MSI B350 GAMING PRO CARBON
Storage : SAMSUNG 850 EVO M2
RAM : CORSAIR VENGEANCE RGB 16GB 3000Mhz
Cooler : CORSAIR HYDRO H60

So here i still confused with what PSU i should get since the components from the list above are almost in the budget limit. I've read that 600W/above should be enough, (and i'm not planning to OC these things), it's just i confused with what brand should i put in my consideration according to my limited budget. So any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Also according to the list, will i have to worry that those aren't enough for my work (rendering, modelling, architect stuff)? Should i get more RAM?

Thanks

What currency is this? If this is USD, I'd say you are overpaying a bit. The best in that price range would probably be the Seasonic Prime Titanium 650w. Though, I recommend one of those I mentioned before if you're looking for high quality.

This PSU really isn't 'really high quality' and I don't suggest it with this build one bit. It is very old platform, lacks modularity, only okay to good performance/quality. Read the review, not just the conclusion.

For a build of this budget, OP is better to put more in a greater PSU, such as a Seasonic Focus, EVGA G2, EVGA G3, Corsair RMx, or Bitfenix Whisper.

I did read the review, and I stand by what I said. show me a 40 dollar unit that is reliable enough to run the system above. the op did not give a budget limit so I went to the low end (pricewise) because I knew someone would whip out the EVGA G2 or RMx, etc. and all are great if you can afford, but if you are on a budget and only have 40 bucks the s12ii is the unit to get.

the unit I suggest costs half the cheapest on your list. "really high quality budget friendly" in the price range it sits it is really high quality.

The thing is op isn't on a budget. They are spending thousands on the rest of the parts, they shouldn't skimp on the PSU. The PSU is the last thing you want to cheap out on.

The corsair CX450m is a better PSU in the price range anyways.

Also, OP, the CPU cooler is not good at all. It is easily outperformed by HSFs (air coolers) at the same price range or lower, with quieter noise. Suggestions are the Thermalright Macho Direct or Scythe Mugen 5 around $50.
