PSU recommendation

Darksat09

Hello guys, thanks for taking your time:

 

I have three questions:

1) I want to make this build, but I don't know what PSU can be ideal for that, and also the wattage, I was thinking about 650W could be enough, but maybe you have a different opinion. I have 150 dollars to spare for the PSU, and also if you have another recommendation for the build is totally welcome!!

2)  Is buying a UPS strictly recommended when buying a PSU? Or I can wait like a month to buy it later, in my area it is not very common that there are blackouts

3) I know the PSU market is not good at the moment but is worth it to buy all the components first and later the PSU or wait until they are back in stock?

 

Thanks!!!

Your parts list is private. If you could make it public then that'd be great, so we can tell whether you really need 650W or not.

 

A UPS is not necessary, especially if you don't have frequent blackouts, unless you flash your motherboard's BIOS on the daily (which you're probably not).

 

The whole shortage has slowly been getting better. If you can find a good PSU now then there's not really much point in waiting any longer.

A full computer with a 3600 and 2070S will pull around 300-350W at full 100% unrealistic load, so a good 550W PSU will be more than enough.

Here's what I'd recommend:

For more options, you can check out the forum's PSU tier list, I'd personally go for at least a B+ for these parts:
