Hello, I'm noob in this topic and want to ask some experienced person if 650 watts 80+ bronze is overkill for my specs or not.

Inbuilt Led lights in fan and Pump block For aio liquid Deepcool Gammax 120L

I've already got one, old but replaced never used so technically new. Antec CSK650 650 watts 80+ bronze

If it´s lying around, don´t hesitate and use it

Yes it's free, not in use. That's why I was confused if I should use it or not. Well in future do I need to downgrade from what psu I'll use as I mentioned Antec CSK650 650 watts 80+ bronze? Just wondering if it can affect my cpu/mobo in long run

A system will only draw the wattages it needs. You can use a 1200 watts PSU in your system and it would be fine.

It looks like you intend to add a gpu later. You want a psu with enough headroom for the gpu you will add, it doesn’t really matter what the system needs now.

Yes I might add gpu later. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks everyone for the support ✌️

The PSU is pretty bad for a GPU. A groupregulated PSU is not recommanded for any system with GPU since Intel introduced the C6/C7 powerstates in 2013.

I had no idea about that. I was using that PSU in my old specs.

Ryzen 5 3600
Rtx 2060 Galax 1 click oc
8*2 3200hz
Msi B450 tomahawk max
Deepcool Gammax 120L
And the Psu Antec CSK 650 80+ Bronze

But the thing is I had to replace my PSU twice
And I don't know the reason what is the main culprit behind my pc stop booting. It could be because mobo/psu I had to rma my ramstick. GPU which is replaced new now. I haven't used yet because I've rma my motherboard. They accepted to give me a replacement. I was frustrated of my PSU/MOBO I don't know which product is culprit. So since my most of part is new now from rma. So I decided to change my old PSU to Corsair RMx series Rm850x and sell or utilise this replace this CSK antec psu somewhere also. Also decided to change mobo. Because I think my motherboard could also be culprit to defect all my pc parts like ram GPU psu.... So I decided to buy Asus ROG strix B550-f. Here in my country Asus service is really good unlike msi. They treat me really bad. And wasted my 2 months in resubmitting the unit. Finally somehow they told me to video call and then they accepted to give me a replacement.

So what I learnt is better spend few extra bucks then going for budget build

As others said the system should just draw what it needs. In regards to a power supply more is always better.
