Hello all, I am going to build my 4th PC for content creation and Gaming here are what I decided to get
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X (3rd Gen)
Motherboard: ASUS TUF X570 Plus (Non Wifi)
RAM: CORSAIR Vengence LPX 16GB x 2
PSU: ? (Corsair RM1000X is way expensive and very high power do this system required such power)
GPU: ASUS RX 580 Dual OC 8GB
M.2 SSD for OS and Programs Only: Crucial P1 NAND (NVMe) 500GB
HDD For Storage Only: My Existing Seagate 2TB 7200RPM H.D.D
Monitor: Acer 32" FHD or LG 25" UltraWide or Existing Samsung 22" B2230
UPS: APC BR1100CI-IN (My Existing unit)

Now the big confusion is with the PSU as the Mobo required dual eps 12 Volt (8pin and additional 4pin 12v connector)
I did some research and found on many forums some are saying the additional 4pin 12volt eps is only for OC, and some of them are saying it is required. So what is the truth please clarify I have also emailed Asus but they haven't answered yet.
any feedback will be appreciated. Thank You
