Is this enough PAWA

So I was going to do a build with a Ryzen 5 3600 and a RTX 2070 Super Windforce however the PSU market in my are is kinda sketch now because of Covid so the best option I could find is a be quiet! System Power 9 600W.

So I was just worried that it wouldn't be enough for gaming/streaming at the same time or it could reduce the life of the PSU

 

Any feedback is welcome

Try for a higher quality unit. If you can afford a 2070 Super, you can afford at least a mid range power supply. Look for a Pure Power Gold or a Corsair TXM/Cooler Maswer MWE Gold/SeaSonic Core GM/GX

Thanks for the suggestion I will look into those models

450 watts would technically be plenty, you could get a 550 watt unit if you want to comfortably upgrade to a 12 core and a 2080 ti in the future

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

Somewhat depends where you live, some Adata or XFX PSU-s are sure worth looking at. I know they are cheaper "than originals" in my region.

I edit my posts more often than not

So would upgrading in your opinion be worth it? or should I save the money. Thanks

Wattage wise it's more than enough and the unit is decent. Though what's your budget?

What about a tx550m? Or a SP11 550w?
