What PSU Do I Need?

[thejjbman]

Hey guys,

What power supply would you recommend for a Ryzen 1600x and a 1060 6GB?

The one I'm thinking of going for is: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N2L5ATM/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I2N7ZKYVM441WU&colid=CIZ33N20DODQ

Thanks in advance 🙂

I did a PSU calculator and it suggested only 500W. I know they are a bit iffy, but my current rig is an Intel i5-4670 and AMD 280X - I know this card is power hungry, yet I'm getting on alright.

Why do I need to go so high? Out of curiosity.

Corsair TX550W, solid unit.

The EVGA B units aren't all that great.
