PSU recommendations

[gavinleejia]

Hi all, I am currently building a PC with the following specs: 

1. GTX 1660 TI 

2. AMD Ryzen 5 2600 (no OC)

3. ASROCK B450M PRO4 

4. Kingston HyperX Fury 16gb 

5. Samsung 970 Evo Plus 250gb

From what I understood from previous posts, 400/450W PSU would be enough but the ones that were recommended (Bitfenix Whisper M series and Be Quiet Pure Power 11) are hard to get in my country (Malaysia). I am looking for 80+ gold PSU and I am on a tight budget for PSU. Would love to hear feedback on the build as it is my first time actually building my own rig and I aim to have mid-low tier gaming rig that can handle 1080p. Thank you in advance.

Did you already buy anything?

If you're only gaming at 1080p 60hz a cheaper GPU will be fine

 

Probably just grab some gold rated 450W-550W unit with good reviews

 

but what's your budget/country for everything?

Contrary to popular belief, pretty much any name brand PSU with a warranty will be fine.

 

I have several EVGA Bronze 500w units running basic builds with zero issues.  They can be had for around $40 US.

I haven't bought anything yet, still researching on some of the components, but mostly are confirmed. 

For the GPU, i would like to actually go to ultra settings on some of the games, but which cheaper alternatives do you recommend, i was looking at 1660 super but in my country there is a chance were 1660 super is more expensive the 1660ti which is very weird. Besides, I hope to finally step into the AAA games too. 

I'll say around RM3.5k maximum including monitor, but of course would like to make it as cheap as I can

I say Rmx 550W or CX 550w 2017 for cheaper option
