How budget are we talking? What are the rest of the specs?

I am far from an expert in this so please correct me if I’m wrong.

I'd reckon on a 500W, to get a bit of headroom for upgrades.

I frequently edit any posts you may quote; please check for anything I 'may' have added.

 

Did you test boot it, before you built in into the case?

WHY NOT...?!

The system won't consume more then 250w at worst.

The cx450 would be the best option. 

The MWE bronze V2 would also be a decent choice and the pure power 400 would also be good.

The Cx 450 had bad reviews on Amazon

That's the CV, not the CX, and regardless I wouldn't put much in the way of trust in reviews on Amazon.

You'll want to check reviews from people who actually know what they're talking about when it comes to PSUs.

PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/hF8hHB

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor  ($139.99 @ Amazon)

Total: $704.96
^ or ideally wait for the 3300X to get restocked.

 

The CV450 will work with a 3600/2600/1600AF and a 1650S, though I wouldn't put in anything more than that. I wouldn't pair it with an RX 580 for example.

My picks would be the Pure Power Gold 400W/500W and the CX450/550, it's just too bad that you can barely find anything in stock at the moment.

Customer reviews means nothing.

Also this is the cv450 not the cx.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)
