[SOLVED] Recommended Power Supply

[tibsy]

Hi, I'm thinking of building a new gaming oc. I've selected the parts and was wondering if a 600w power supply would be sufficient.

Ryzen 5 3600 with stock cooler
Corsair vengence 16gb 3200mhz
Gigabyte G1 GTX 980
Asrock b450 Steel Legend MOBO ATX
GameMax Aurora RGB Case
120GB SSD
2 TB HDD
EVGA BR 600W

600W is enough but I'd get a better quality unit.

shud be ok, but the EVGA bronze psus don't have as good a reputation as their gold psus

I'm seeing the 980 draws about 165 watts....and the CPU 65 watts.
I think it's enough.
....but I would look at a different power supply as I'm seeing the BR series is viewed as "not very good".

"Not very good are the W1, N1, B1, B3 (Most models failed Aris Mpitziopoulos stringent testing), BQ, BR, BT and G1 NEX models. "

See here.

Change the CPU to the Ryzen 2600 or 1600 AF and use the savings for a better PSU. The PSU is the heart of the system and a low quality unit could end up ruining your parts.
