What psu to choose / how much power?

[mingomango]

Building a new pc, since last build is around 10 years old now. I'm getting the Ryzen 2600 non x, a ROG STRIX X470 Gaming-F mobo, 2x8gb G.Skill TridentZ 3200mhz RGB RAM. I'm keeping my old HDD 1Tb 7,500rpm and getting a 860 Evo 500gb SSD + a 970 evo 250gb M.2 SSD. I'm keeping my old GPU for now, it's a Sapphire Radeon R9 290 4gb OC, It's a power hungry beast lol. Anyways should I get 650 or 750 watt PSU for this setup? I'm rm650x / rm750x from corsair or evga supernova g3 650/750. It's all supposed to run in the meshify c with 4x120mm fans.


Thanks in advance!

Considering you have an R9-290, I'd ask you to look at a 750W unit just for the sake of headroom. You could cut it close with a 650W unit but I'd like the extra. If you were to have a more power efficient GPU, I'd have suggested a 650W unit.

You're good with either brand, listed above, unless ofc you have access to Seasonic.

Thanks! Yeah I was thinking 650w would cut I close, that gpu is really hungry lol. Anyway Seasonic is hard to find in my country, and they cost to much for my budget.

Again thanks. I made up my mind and gonna get a 750w psu!
