Hey, I'm building a new PC and I don't know how to calculate the watts that I need in my PSU...

 

My components would be

 

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 (Would do little to no overclock)

GPU: RX 5700 MSI MECH GP

RAM: Thermaltake Toughram Z-One RGB DDR4 3200 2x8GB 16GB CL16

SSD: Kingston A2000 M.2 250GB PCI Express 3.0 NVMe

HDD: Seagate BarraCuda 3.5" 1TB SATA3

MB: Asus ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING

 

Also I have to include 3 to 4 case fans...

 

I've tried the online calculators but every manufacturer wants me to buy their psu's so i dont know what is the wattage i need.

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 @ 4.4GHz 1.2v / GPU: MSI Radeon RX 5700 Mech OC GP (5700XT Bios) @ 2GHz / MB: Asus ROG Strix B450-F / RAM: Kingston HyperX 16GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16 / CASE: MSI MAG Vampiric 010X

CPU: 80W.

GPU: 180W.

Add about a 100W for the rest of the components, that's how much is needed.

 

A good 500W+ would be more than plenty.

Think like a Be Quiet Pure Power 11, Corsair CX, Seasonic Focus GX, etc.

Or really anything Tier B+ or better.
