[SOLVED] PSU Wattage Recommendation?

[Fusion1005]

I plan on getting the Ryzen 5 3600 and the RTX 2070 SUPER. What's a good psu wattage for my system?

Get a decent 650w.

Would there be any future-proofing with a 650w unit?

Yes, a good quality 650w will allow for future upgrades.

A decent 650w would be fine for an RTX2080ti if you wanted even.

Got it. Then, just asking, what's the point of even selling 750w or 850w psu units if one of the best gpus on the market only needs a 650w unit?

Extreme overclocking headroom.
Insanely high-end CPUs with high power consumption (Xeon 8180 or TR 3990wx)
Multi-GPU setups
