Good PSU for this Build?

Ryzen 2600X

This is my current build, I have already bought the CPU, MOBO, and case. I'm about to buy the RAM, SSDs, CPU Cooler and PSU. My question is: Is this PSU enough for the RTX 2070 and my R2600X? Thanks.

Eh. It's likely to have coil whine, and it's not very quiet. Just get a higher end PSU. You're building a $900 PC, so you shouldn't try to save $20 on a PSU. The RM550x 2018 is available for $64 after rebate. If you don't want to use rebates, the Whisper M 450W is available for $70.

450w PSU? What about this one?

RTX 2070 is a card that runs hot, so you'll need nice airflow, nice air intake to be precise, which that case lacks. 

 

this might help

450W is absolutely plenty for your ~250W PC. 

The G3 is loud, and has issues with its protections.

What do you recommend? 2 fans in the front intake? I might just take the panel off, worked for my last PC.

I'd recommend a Corsair RM550x. I have one powering a similar system (Ryzen 5 1600 at 3.95GHz and a 1070) but the power draw will be similar. I have plenty overhead and never hear my computer so it's not loud. Having it be modular is also pretty good cause it means down the line you can get rid of any excess cables running about in your case by getting something like CableMod cables.

G3 PSU can be had for cheap especially when on sale, Got a G3 1000 watt for $99 last year but I totally agree they are very loud IMO.  Honestly all you need is 450W, so I would say getting a platinum Seasonic Focus Plus 550W platinum would be very good at $99 and even give you a touch of room to grow
