Suggest me the best power supply for this build.

So this is how my build looks like :

Ryzen 7 3700x

RTX 2070 Super

B450 Tomahawk Max

16 GB 3400 Mhz (8×2 GB) 

240mm AIO

6 SATA Power connections - ( 3 for HDD/SSD and 3 for case fans/lighting/AIO)

 

I think a 650W PSU would be ample for this build but still I want recommendation from you guys, that which PSU would be the best for this build.

550W would be enough as well. it depends on what's available in the shops you buy from, as there seems to be a global psu shortage.

look in the psu tier list in my signature and pick something tier B+ and above.

My picks would be Corsair's RM550x and be quiet's Straight Power 11 550W, though if you're looking for more mid-range but still very capable options at a lower price, I'd suggest the Corsair TX550M, be quiet Pure Power Gold CM 500W and Cooler Master MWE Gold 550W.

Budget?

No constraints. Can spend any amount for quality, But It shouldn't be extremely overkill like, Don't suggest me those 1600W Psu from Corsair, I know they are the best but I want something which is not too much overkill and appropriate enough for my needs.

Personally, I think 550W is too low. You should try to stick to 50-60% utilization and no more than 80%, including headroom for future upgrades. 650-700 should be good. Other than that, just a known, reputable brand, Gold or better. The efficiency rating isn't the same as quality, but it's obviously harder to get a good rating without good components.

I am getting a Corsair RM750 the grey one, Is it the right choice? In the PSU Tier list it has been placed in Tier A Single Rail PSUs.

I was also thinking of the RM750x but that was a bit expensive so I thought of going with the non x, What are the performance differences between the both?

It's basically the RMx but with Chinese caps instead of Japanese (though most caps are made in China anyway) and a lesser quality or at least not as tried-and-tested fan. The only thing it has on the RMx to my knowledge is supporting Windows 10's Modern Standby.

Considering it's still got the same 10 year warranty on it I wouldn't doubt its long-term reliability, but the RMx is still technically higher quality, and I'd take that personally over extra wattage.

Sometimes they say that Japanese Caps are not a mark of quality and sometimes I also hear (like I am hearing right now) that the Country where caps have been made is a symbol of quality, It keeps on getting more and more confusing for me, earlier I was concerned about getting the TXM series then they said that inspite of having japanese caps, It is still inferior than the RM PSU, and when I considered the RM one, I am again stuck from where I began?

The problem with that is you can't generalise the quality of a product based on the country it was made in, simply because there's not just a single factory in that entire country. There are good factories and there are worse ones too. 

I'd expect the caps branded as Japanese to be held to a higher standard and possibly made in one of those "better" factories, but then again, one could argue that I'd still be generalising.

The point that the RM has the same 10 year warranty still stands - based on I would still trust it.

I would assume the RM750i is quite a bit more expensive.

Go with the RM then, it's still a solid choice.

Probably none that are noticeable to you or most if not all regular users. Even if the fan was louder than the RMx's, it probably won't even kick in in most cases, considering your components.

I would go with a 650w. This will be enough for a 3950x and 2080ti. My point is it will be able to support any upgrades you want in the future. Go 750w if you want to be suuuuper safe. This is my recommendation: 

Corsair RMx (2018) 650 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

Yes its completely overkill but is a great, super high quality PSU that will last years. If you want to go a bit cheaper then a cooler master mwe gold is good too (about 25$ cheaper)

I'd have got that, but sadly It's not available right now in my Country, and I don't think I can wait any longer as It has already been more than a month since I am scouting for a great PSU, It's time to complete the build finally!
