[SOLVED] How much wattage do I need?

[reatz]

Hey!
I'm thinking of getting a new PSU. Right now I have some chinese brand "LEPA MX 650W" PSU but It started making weird noises a couple of weeks ago. The psu has been hit with lightning and the gpu got burnt like 6 months ago. Im looking for a quiet 700 watt psu or is it overkill?
GPU : Gigabyte RTX 2060 8GB SUPER OC
CPU : I7 7700
RAM : 2x 8gb G.Skill
Mobo : MSI B250M PRO-VD
Storage : Hitachi HP SSD S700 Pro 256GB
WD 1TB
CPU Cooler : Corsair hydro h45
3 fans
Running on two monitors.

Can u recommend what wattage and what psu should I get? Also can recommend other parts to upgrade.

Honestly, you could get by with a 550w.

Whats your budget?

Somewhere around 100usd

550w is fine.

of more importance is the quality of the unit.
Here is an older list as to psu quality:

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.

My rule of thumb is 60%, if the system needs 600W it will get 1kW. Never had one fail in 15 yrs (except for coil whine after 5+ which was replaced by warranty).

Thanks for the help! Comes out that my current psu is tier 6 What psu would you recommend around 600 watts and maybe is quieter than its competitors?

I would usually go for a 650w Corsair TXM at this price point, but these likely arent your quietest option.

I would go with a Phanteks AMP 650w gold since according to this review:

The Phanteks AMP Series 650W offers strong performance, excellent build quality, and silent operation. All the above are provided at a fair price...
