[SOLVED] Power supply for RTX 3060

[Tac 25]

hi, now this is a long way off.. buying a 3060 won't be happening anytime soon.
but I just want an idea on what PSU can safely run it.

by Nov or Dec this year, if budget allows I'm buying a 4k monitor.. and if there's money to spare, will also be buying a PSU to upgrade the 550 watt psu that my budget gaming pc is using.

is a 650 watt psu enough for a 3060? or need higher?

system specs:

i5-10600k
one 480 gb SSD
one 512 gb SSD
one generic cd drive
Cyrorig M9 Plus Air Cooler
16 gb Kingston Fury Beast

I never overclock anything.

A good quality 550w is plenty for a 3060, it would probably be fine on a high quality 450w.

oh, that's good to hear. So it looks like I don't need a psu upgrade after all. Money saved.

current psu is Seasonic Focus GM Gold 550, purchased it brand new a few months ago. I heard people say this is a good psu.
