Hello everyone, I'm from Indonesia and currently I'm looking to build a new PC but kinda confuse on how to pick the right PSU for this build. The purpose of this PC is just to simply for gaming and working. Usually play some AAA and esports game while for working, it's just office word/ppt and handbrake. Also, not gonna do any OC stuff.

Specs:

↳ CPU                        :     AMD Ryzen 5 3600 
↳ MOBO                     :     MSI B450 Tomahawk MAX 
↳ GPU                        :     Galax RTX2070SUPER EX
↳ COOLER                 :     Noctua NH-U12S Chromax 
↳ RAM                        :     Team Dark Z Alpha 2x8GB 3200Mhz 
↳ STORAGE              :      Addlink S20 512GB SATA 
↳ PSU                        :      -
↳ FAN                         :     2x Noctua NF-A14 Chromax (Intake), 2x Noctua NF-S12B Redux (Exhaust)
↳ CASE                      :     Fractal Meshify C

 

PSU options from the cheapest price

- Cougar GX-F Gold 650W

- Super Flower Leadex Gold II 650W

- Corsair RM 2019 Gold 650W

- Seasonic Focus GX Gold 650W

 

*the price difference is in 4-10$ range

Seasonic, they tend to... make REALLY GOOD PSU's

 

The worse thing you can do to a PC is going cheep on the PSU, you get a bad PSU, chances are it will fry everything in the future.

Seasonic S12II/M12II, Focus FX, S12III

 

they have some crap products

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 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

nope, though I wish I did, from what I've heard they make great PSU's, even Linus talks about them.

 

No, im currently using a Corsair AX 760 watt PSU, 80+ Platinum rating, also the higher the rating the better.

These four units are all in tier A of our tier list, chances are you would never notice a difference between them. You can pick randomly and be fine, or just go with the one that offers the longest warranty.

None of those are bad choices and any would be suitable for your system.
Of the options my first preference would likely be the Focus GX.

CPU: Intel i7 6700k  | Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170x Gaming 5 | RAM: 2x16GB 3000MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX | GPU: Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080ti | PSU: Corsair RM750x (2018) | Case: BeQuiet SilentBase 800 | Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34 eSports | SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 500GB + Samsung 840 500GB + Crucial MX500 2TB | Monitor: Acer Predator XB271HU + Samsung BX2450

S12ii and S12 in general is really old. 

 

it just means every manufacturer and brand have their good and bad units. because S12 in general hasnt been great, and its been around for more than 10 years iirc.

Corsair RM has somewhat worse capacitors than the other three, any of which would be good option, just get a cheapest one or with longer warranty if you care about that. But you don't need 650W PSU, even 550W are overkill for this build if you don't plan to upgrade the GPU in the future. Look for a good 450-550W PSU. Where are you buying from ?

man if i think that again, i have no plan to upgrade the GPU tho, not even when Ampere/Big navi later came out, in fact i'm gonna use the GPU for the next 2 years and maybe i would think of upgrade. The only part that i might considering upgrade are just the CPU. I'm buying from Indonesia and since you mention 550W, what do you think about Seasonic GX 550W?
