Is it a smart idea to pair this PSU https://pcpartpicker.com/product/qYTrxr/evga-power-supply-220g20550y1 with an OC R5 3600 + Red Devil RX 5700 XT. I checked the manufacturer’s website and they recommended a 700w PSU for the red devil variant of the RX 5700 XT. Thanks for any responses

It would work excellent.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

Even at 550w when it’s recommended at 700w?

They over recommend to cover their bases. I highly doubt you're pairing it with a CPU that draws over 200 watts.

You'll be perfectly fine with a 550w unit.

CPU draws about 120-150w at most and I believe that's it overclocked/
GPU would draw at around 250w.

So, peak loads would be around the 400w mark which is plenty of headroom and this is under a heavy load.
