hello guys, im going to get a new build in like 2 weeks and wondering if 600w is enough?

The build we be like this:

1080/1080ti
AMD Ryzen 7 1800x
2TB harddrive
16gb RAM
250gb SSD
And a deepcool captain 360 ex
 
That is the manufacturers recommendation which they have to account people with very power hungry builds and crappy PSUs. And you suggest over the recommendation? A 750w power supply could powe rGTX 1080tis in SLI. Overkill for a single card.

A build like this consumes ~350w at a gaming load. A 550W to 650W PSU is perfectly fine.
 
I don't see why anyone would go below the minimum recommended unless they already had that and it was of decent quality. Can't go wrong with a quality 650w especially when overclocking. Exceeding the recommended is also unnecessary like the post above me said. The one I recommended before (seasonic s12G 650w) works great for me.
