What PSU do I need?

Hi I was wondering what wattage psu I would need. I don't plan on overclocking and will be using the pc for gaming and photo editing. Thanks

Hello,
I've been running the almost similiar setup for a customer, and it ran fine with a 500w + bronze,

But this gold 80+ 650w should definitely do the trick!

for $35 more you get a ryzen 2600x
Ram 3200 ideal
You can pick up Ms original win 10 pro for $15 from scdkey
The PSU you have picked is more than adequate
The money you save buying a key will allow better upgrades
480 GPU? I guess you already got this.

I already have windows 10 and rx 480. I don't plan on overclocking tbh but I'll look at the ryzen 2600

The difference between the 1600 and 2600 is £40 where I'm looking to buy it

and you get a cpu thats faster and better
1600 and 2600x its so much better to have the latest for a little more, than something that is older.
also better resale, for when you want to go to 2700x ot 3700x next year

Slightly OT but do not buy keys form places like that, they are often stolen or not for resale, we have had MANY site users get burned by buying cheap keys like that.

OP that PSU you have is overkill wattage wise. I don't love the EVGA GQ series they have their quality issues. Preferably you want to get an EVGA 550G3 or Seasonic Focus 550. Both should be the same or cheaper price wise, and far better quality.

That will do fine.

If you're uk stick with the ryzen 1600, the price at the minute is impossible to ignore.

For £200 odd you've got the 1600 & a decent be50 board

A 2600 & an x370 , while slightly better , is close to £300.

Just not worth it competitively at all.

Psu's , I own a couple of cx550s myself , decent psu, if you're not that budget constrained though the gq650 is hands down better.

Not aware of any quality issues with it myself at all.

You already own that monitor ?
If not,

AOC Q3279VWF 31.5-Inch HDMI DVI Monitor - Black https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0777TRHPQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_R3PhBbC16MGRD

Only 75htz but a truly cracking bargain if you have the desk space.
