Question Will this psu be good for this build

[Snipercola]

I am going to be making a system with a 2600x, rx 590, 2x8gb 3200mhz, and 1tb m.2 nvme 660p and want to know if the psu from this link will be good for this build https://www.newegg.ca/corsair-vs-series-vs650-cp-9020172-na-650w/p/N82E16817139228

The VS series is not recommended for a system like that, dont cheap out on the PSU.

The CXM is passable, TXM is solid, but the RMX is top of the line.

I don't think of the psu has part of "a build." You get a ten or twelve year psu, it's going to be serving you in two or three builds, most likely. Your needs will change and likely grow. If you think of it this way it makes sense to spend the extra $60 or $70 and get something like a Seasonic 850 or Corsair equivalent.

Because it's not just about having "room to grow." It's also about having your current build protected against one of the most common sources of system damage, a failing psu. A good psu is cheaper in the long run.

To be fair, power requirements generally havent been increasing in recent years all that much (if at all).
I too went with a 750w unit to plan for the future, that never came because power requirements didnt take off.

850W? Why? Single gpus usually top out at 300W, and cpus in the 150 range. That means single gpu systems top out at 500w. 90% of them use less than 400W. Even if you had a 500W system, loading the psu to 80% of output means you can use a 650W just fine. Nearly all of us can get away with a 550W. I used a 450W psu in my old rig and could run all video cards other than the 250-300w+ cards like the fury and 390X type cards. 850W quill be bored powering most rigs.

For the proposed rig you are looking at a 200W(ish) gpu and a 100W cpu. This means you are looking at a gaming load of <350W. A good 450W can handle this, as well of code the 550W. I'd get the 550W to handle the bigger 300W gpus. There just isn't a need for an 850W.
