Is 650 watts without a graphics card ok?

[Arkland909]

I'm on a budget and i'm planning to get the graphics card in the future.

Cpu i'm planning to use is Ryzen 3 3200g.

650 W should be fine for almost all systems unless you intend to spend $5000+ on your pc

Definitely enough, even when you upgrade to a GPU in future.

That's more than enough

I'm spending 4k on my new pc and I'm using either a 850w or a 1000w so your 5000 dollar + claim is not necessarily true

rating has nothing to do with quality, neither does wattage and brand.

true but you do want good energy efficacy and usually the 80+ can be an indication of quality for example i would not buy a cheap 800W psu with no 80+ rating.

the CX 550 should be enough for your needs, even if you were to get a GPU in the future.
