Power Supply needed for My pc

[CutlerGames]

Hi all, below is my linked build, and I was wondering, what power supply to get for it. My motherboard is the ASRock X570 Steel Legend, and I am pretty sure that it has a 4 pin ATX power connector. I really do not know what this means, any help would be appreciated :) 

       Thanks

Your parts list is private ATM, and other cannot view it.

Virtually all (modern) power supplies are compatible with all (modern) motherboards. They will all have the same connectors, so that is not something to worry about,

Instead, what is important is efficiency (how much power goes into the psu compared to what it outputs) and total power output ability.

If you open up your parts list we can help you more.

 

*modern being defined as ~10 years old and younger

Efficiency is one of, but not the only indicator of build quality.

You're buying this today?

 

Because there are lot of issues and bad spending of money in here, I mean you're buying a RTX 2070 for the price of what you can get a RTX 2080 Super Founders Edition?

[hello_there_123]

And as for OP I would get the Bitfenix Formula Gold 550 on Newegg for $70.

Oh it's fine really, just asking since when you been here for that long you kinda have seen it all and people often do silly mistakes when purchasing stuff.

 

Given you already made a core component with little investment I'd say it is very worthy buy a power supply good enough for it to work properly and safe, the PSU market on US has been a bit bad lately and we haven't a whole lot of options right now.

 

For the 60 to 80 dollars price point where you buy something truly decent there's really only two alternatives worth look to:

Should get a different board

reasonably priced ram with the same relative performance

bit cheaper SSD with the same performance

Why is that 2070 $700? Better off with an RX 5700/XT even at it's normal price, aftermarket cards are coming back in stock.

 

Just grab any 650W gold rated unit from a big brand and it should be fine.

This one just happens to be a cheap 750W unit.

Also added a CPU cooler to shoot for.

For the price, following this advice you're more likely to go wrong tan right.

Yay, another Phison E12 drive and... $80 for a 512gb?!?!?!? 

When the Sabrent Rocket is $60 for the same capacity?!?!?

3K read/writes mostly, overkill for everyone though, a 1TB $99 normal SSD is likely fine too
Also I just sort by cache on the part picker to rule out anything with unlisted or no cache

" The ASRock X570 Steel Legend ATX AM4 Motherboard has an additional 4-pin ATX power connector but the Cooler Master MWE Gold 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply does not. This connector is used to supply additional 12V current to the motherboard. While the system will likely still run without it, higher current demands such as extreme overclocking or large video card current draws may require it."

ignore that.

my point was, the sabrent rocket is the same ssd as that patriot and cost $20 cheaper. 

And sorting by cache is terrible on pcpartpicker, because pcpartpicker is wrong on the cache more often than not.

sorry if any of this is over dramatic at all, its just my first build

You don't actually need the extra power connectors it will work fine with only the 8 pin plugged in.

The extra 4 pin is just some marketing thing.

Are you a streamer / content creator?
To me RTX 2070 with R7 3700X looks pretty unbalanced for gaming and even light content creation ( such as basic/intermediate video editing ).
In terms of gaming for RTX 2070 even R5 3600 would be more than enough. To me even R5 2600 is enough even when streaming the stream runs smooth and my game fps isn't really affected.

If you mainly game i would downgrade the CPU to 3600 and motherboard to something like B450 Tomahawk MAX ( MAX = modified for Zen2 ) and get better GPU such as RTX 2080, that will also help alot if you gonna want to try raytracing in games not to mention gaming in higher resolutions.

Also take a look at NZXT E-Series PSU's, they also have wattage/temp monitoring which is really dope and useful.
And for some reason they're in Tier 1 which is crazy for their price which is quite cheap compared to other Tier 1 PSU's.
