Question Is a 500W PSU enough for a MSI GEFORCE RTX 3060 VENTUS 3X OC 12G?

[Copai1]

i'm upgrading my build from Ryzen 3200g and RX 570 4gb to a Ryzen 5 5600x and RTX 3060 12gb. Would a 500w PSU be enough for this system? I do not care about OC for now, just stock speeds. I also have 2 SDD's, 2 HDD's and 6 fans. I'm kinda new to this so i don't know if it would work.

"500w PSU" means very little by itself.

Nor would "1000w PSU".

WHICH?

I meant more if 500W are enough for that combo of CPU+GPU

I wouldn't run a 30 series card on that.

Not in this lifetime, not in the next.

Well, it seems it was a bad idea then.
Someone knows if
EVGA 700W 80 PLUS BRONZE or
SEASONIC CORE GM-650 - 80 PLUS GOLD are good PSU's for this combo?

 

[DSzymborski]

A definite no on that EVGA, which is very basic entry-level, and that's not where you're at with a 30 series GPU.

The SeaSonic is decent, though wouldn't be high on my choice list.

What type of PSU would you recommend?

Can you get the Seasonic Focus line?
