Wattage for Ryzen 7 2700x w/ Vega 56

[Comrade Jayray]

Hey everyone.

So i've been reading countless threads about the wattage i will need for a system i'll be buying parts for tomorrow. The specs are as follows

Ryzen 7 2700x
Vega 56 Pulse
16gb DDR4 Corsair Vengence 3000mhz
2tb HDD

240gb SSD
Cryorig H7 Air cooler

So as i said, i am reading threads and forums and it seems like no one can agree on the PSU needed to power a system like this.

Fan boys say 750w while others say 500,550 and 650w.

My question is, can i actually buy a decent PSU like a CorsairTX 650w and be okay? Or do i need to have a 750w PSU.

Thanks!

I'm running a 650W PSU if that helps you decide.

you should be fine with the 650w, just get a reliable power supply

can't help you much with choosing one, there's a PSU tier list thread somewhere

PSU prices seemed to have gone up since last year.  That's a bummer.

yes, the TX650 or even a 550 is a good idea for your build.
