So im planning on building a pc around 1000 euro budget, but i cant figure out what PSU i want to use/buy. A powersupply calculator recommends me going for a 471W psu. This is my build, i only miss the PSU rn, i think. let me know what psu i need to use, id like a non/semi modulair PSU

Bitfenix Formula 550W and Corsair tx550m are about 70€.

 

I would also get a cheaper case or a 100€ sata-ssd so that you can afford 2x8GB of 3200MHz ram.

Ye i was thinking of buying 16GB of ram, and maybe a cheaper ssd, but the m.2 ssd is much easier to install and it has faster reading speeds if that is what its called, i couldnt really find a cheaper case with enough fans, so idk ty for ur advice

Don't trust PSU calculators, as they are far from reality almost all of the time. This PC won't consume more than ~350W at full 100% load.

You'll want to invest in 16GB of memory, and even more importantly dual-channel memory. Going with single-channel will cut your bandwidth in half and since Ryzen really benefits from fast RAM, you'll notice a significant loss in performance. Also, just 8GB of RAM seems rather odd paired with a Ryzen 3600, it would hold you back badly when it comes to multitasking.

If that SSD is going to be the only drive in your PC, I would suggest going with something better than the QLC 660p, for both reliability and speed to some extent.

You will not notice the speed difference between Sara and NVMe unless you work with 100Gb files. Get a cheaper Crucial or SanDisk SSD, a cheaper case and 16GB of RAM. 8 is NN it enough for many games these days
