Hello guys! I'm planning on buying a 30 series gpu either the 3070 or the 3080 and I need a power supply upgrade. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to psu's and would appreciate some recommendations.

Thanks :)

Well, let's get some things out of the way first:

1. Specs of PC?

2. Country and budget?

3. Overclocking or stock settings?

Ryzen 7 3700x,16gb of ram at about 3300mhz and as of now I have a 2060. I live in the US and have a budget of about $150-$200. I don't plan on overclocking.

Personally, I would get the Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 PE 750w for $110 (mostly since I'm a little bit of a cheap person at times).

There's the Fractal Design Ion+ 760P for $130 if you want a Platinum efficiency PSU.

You could get a 650w PSU, but I'm waiting on the real power consumption benchmarks first.

These are all fully-modular PSUs by the way. You could get a 750w Antec Earthwatts Pro Gold for $105 but it's semi-modular
