Question Is 700 watts for this system too much?

[ZanderOdom]

I have vengeance 16gb 3200 mhz ram, radeon rx 570 OC, and ryzen 2600, I'm also looking to overclock CPU and get an H100i corsair. What wattage is cheapest but also very safe?

 

[WildCard999]

No such thing as cheap and safe, a good quality 550W, which I'd recommend for that build is going to cost around $60-70 (USD).

No, it's a pretty low end unit. A higher end 550W unit would be much better then any low end 700W+ unit.

What is your max budget for a PSU? If possible I'd highly recommend the Seasonic Focus Gold, it's excellent quality and has a 7 year warranty. The Plus version is fully modular (easier cable management) and has a 10 year warranty. The TXM I posted above is really good as well.

Companies like EVGA & Corsair have units that range from high quality to low quality.

No, avoid the VS series.

 

[ZanderOdom]

No, avoid the VS series.

Okay is 550 watts fine for my setup with liquid cooling and overclocking? I can go with your first suggestion

Just saying, the PSU is the last thing you want to skimp out on, it can be reused for many builds into the future if you buy a high quality unit the first time.
