  1. Agree
    Eslitened got a reaction from AshRiver in Gpu not using 100%   
    If your GPU is not running at maximum usually means that your framerates is lock at certain level. Often through in-game or your graphic control panel limiter or V-sync.

    I have the exact same board, and exact same SSD. I put it in the bottom one because style points. I have a 2080 super, and there's zero issues with the temp, and this bohemoth covers the chipset fan too

    Not sure of PCWorld's rep, but this article seemed legitimate to me:
    https://www.pcworld.com/article/3527873/asus-blames-amd-guidelines-for-high-rog-strix-radeon-rx-5700-temperatures-announces-fix.html
     
    It definitely specifies heat issues on the initial run of Strix 5700 XT cards, due to improperly tightened mounting screws, an issue which, by my understanding, has been rectified in more recently produced cards - see photo 7 in this build here:
    https://pcpartpicker.com/b/wnsZxr
    The builder mentions the addition of "springloaded" screws, which you can see in that photo.
     
    As for power requirements, your build is similar to one I've been considering (I'm also waffling on the Strix X570 or TUF X570), and pcpartpicker.com's system builder gives a 424W estimate for this comparable build:
    Component                                                                                                   Estimated Wattage
    AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 3.8 GHz 6-Core Processor                                           11W - 95W
    Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler         5W - 10W
    Asus ROG Strix X570-E Gaming ATX AM4 Motherboard                               17W - 70W
    Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory                   14W
    Samsung 970 Evo Plus 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive              2W - 10W
    Asus Radeon RX 5700 XT 8 GB STRIX Gaming OC Video Card                  56W - 225W
    Total:    424W
     
    So, I can't tell you for certain, but it seems by those estimates that the 650W should have headroom enough for the build you're considering. Seeing the estimates had me pull my planned PSU down from a 750W to a 650W. I can't speak to the ASUS PSU reliability.
     
    Good luck!
