Need a compatible power supply

[Updagloop]

For my build i am using a ryzen 5 3600 and an rtx 2060. My mobo is a msi x570 a pro. Please can someone tell me a powersupply which has the extra atx 4 pin for the cpu and the correct amount of pins for the graphics card.

THANKS IN ADVANCE

unless you want to overclock heavily you won't need the 4 pin

 

Seasonic Focus GX 550W ATX 2.4

a corsair cx550m should do, if you want one thats pocket friendly. the 4 pin is unnecessary for regular usage, but if you do want to utilise it the modular option should fare well

You don't need the extra 4-pin unless you're subzero overclocking, which you won't be with that motherboard. On that note, if you haven't purchased it already, I'd suggest getting a different board as that one offers very subpar VRMs for an X570 board.

Anyway, what's your budget for the PSU?

most psus (including this one) come with a pcie 8 pin connector. since you got a 2060, this one should do

Going by prices on PCPartPicker, you can get a Corsair RM550x for 87 quid or a be quiet! Straight Power 11 550W for 99 quid. 

You could spend less obviously, but if you have the money I'd go for either of the two units above. You never want to skimp on the power supply and heck in the long run this could save you some money, as a really high-end PSU could last you multiple upgrade cycles (depending on how often you upgrade your PC).

 

If you're interested in looking up some other options, you can check the forum's PSU tier list here:
