Good can still mean overkill. A good 500-550w psu like the RM550X would already be more than enough.

 

Here's an example of a system with a 6850k with the 2060 drawing 326w at load: https://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/gpu_displays/asus_rog_strix_rtx_2060_review/21

and 325w with an oc'ed 8700k: https://www.bit-tech.net/reviews/asus-geforce-rtx-2060-rog-strix-oc-review/10/

Yeah, kinda overkill but there's nothing like preparing for the future. 

Don't use the f word, man.

 

What's the price difference between the 550i and the 750i?

Save your money and just get the RMx instead

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600  Heatsink: ID-Cooling Frostflow X GPU: Zotac GTX 1060 Mini 6GB RAM: KLEVV Bolt 3600Mhz (2x8GB) Mobo: ASUS B550-F ROG Strix (Wifi)  Case: Fractal Design Meshify C PSU: Deepcool DQ-M-V2L

I mean it's a overkill for your current build, so if you really need to save a few bucks, then go for the RMx everyone else is recommending. However, a good psu often lasts pretty long, going for a 750w psu means that you probably won't need to buy a new psu when you are upgrading your rig a few years later.

 

It's up to you.

There is no RM550i. The RMi starts at 650W.

Its definitely overkill but if there's not much difference in the price get the bigger one, no reason not to. If the 550 is a lot cheaper stick with that
