Need help choosing a power supply

[wegoodtbh]

Hello everyone I am pretty much done with my build all my parts are coming in soon but I am having second thoughts about my power supply. My knowledge on power supplies is wack so when I saw one go on stock on buildapcsales I impulse bought it because a lot of stuff is out of stock. 

 

Here is my current build list

Here is the power supply I bought for $76

As far as I am aware the power supply is "okay" for my current build but I would like some flexibility in over clocking. Should I keep my power supply or get another one? And if anyone knows any good power supplies under $100 I'd really appreciate it

I'd go for a CX 550m for a build like this it's a decent PSU with more than enough wattage. And if you can spend a bit more you can get a 5600xt it is on par with the RTX 2060. You get much more performance for your money this way.

So your build would look like this:

And looking at your current PSU, it more than enough tbh (between tier B and C, which is enough for the specs of your build) you can keep it and still get the most out of your PC. And don't worry about overclocking, it's not worth putting the effort into it. Your 3600 boosts really aggressively near it's limits anyways, and GPUs have GPU boost which is also pretty aggressive.

Thank you for your detailed response.  I was strongly thinking about the 5600xt but I couldn't figure out which brand card to buy, because I've heard alot about driver issues and didn't really want the headache.

 

Is the gigabyte card you linked a good one? I am thinking about cancelling/returning the 1660s order. But Neweggs shitty return policy is holding me back. Please advise

The 5600xt i linked is good enough, and AMD drivers are MUCH more stable than they used to be at launch. So there is nothing to worry about. Try to return the 1660s UNLESS you are streaming since it has the NVENC encoder.
