Selecting proper PSU for future use

[t0m.-]

Hello guys,

 

don't wanna spam the tierlist thread anymore - sorry for that. Currently I am looking for a PSU.

 

Current Setup:

 

Ryzen 5 3600

MSI X570-A Pro

Gigabyte RX 5600 XT Gaming OC

3x S-ATA

need 1x Molex

 

Will upgrade to a high-end GPU next release or the one after. (either 3070/3080 (Super/TI/whatever)). Will 550W be enough?

 

Should be at least semi-modular and preferably not too loud.

I am buying from Germany. Preferably mindfactory.de , as I still have money on my account here. Possibilites I thought of yet:

 

Seasonic Focus GX 550W - currently on sale for 65€

Straight Power 11 550W ~90€

BitFenix Whisper M 550W ~90€

Corsair RMX 750W (since it is on sale. is it 2017? SKU CP-9020179-EU) 99€

 

Any other ideas?

I'd say Straight Power 11 550W, but that's a pretty good deal for the RM750x.

 

Also, if you haven't already purchased that motherboard, I'd seriously consider swapping it out for something else.

wouldn’t have bought it either. 
 

got the MB and the GPU for free in a giveaway.  

 

i feel like 550w might be not enough if I upgrade the rig at some point?

Oh, well congrats for that then haha! 

Unless you're planning to go with SLI or Crossfire (which you probably shouldn't do at this point in time), or plan on upgrading to Threadripper at some point, 550W should be enough.

Yea, I saw these calculators. Was just wondering whether it is enough for future GPUs but apparently yes. Thanks everyone. Still can’t decide tho LOL
