Need Help finding the right PSU

Here's the specs of a new custom build I'm going for and I'd like some advice on which PSU I should get and have the peace of mind of it not blowing up on me or giving me any trouble.

 

PCPartPicker Part List: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cp4pdm

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor 
Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B450-E GAMING ATX AM4 Motherboard 
Memory: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory 
Storage: Samsung 860 Evo 250 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive 
Storage: Seagate Barracuda Compute 2 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive 
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6 GB GAMING OC Video Card 
Case: NZXT Noctis 450 ATX Mid Tower Case

 

A thing to note is that I might be upgrading later to a 3700x and an RTX 3060 (If it becomes a thing). There aren't many good brand's psus available here so I've only really looked into Corsair's psus which are a CX Gray 750w and an RMx 750w which costs $35 more. Any help would appreciated in finding the proper match for my build.

both of those are good. of course the rmx is better, but if you can't afford it, the cx is decent as well.

can you find a txm?

also, 550W would be enough, you won't need 750W, even with the 3700x and 3060

Yeah they did mention a TXM would be coming in stock for around the price of a CX Gray soon. And thanks for letting me know, I'll look into it but 550w-650w are tough to find here atm.

i would also advise you to get a b550 board. i feel the b450 strix e is too expensive for what it is

The only B550 boards available here are Gigabyte DS3H Asus Prime B550M-A / B550 Plus for the same price.

There are a few websites I've been looking at for power supplies:

Any reason on why I should go for this? Also, I still need a PSU recommendation, I've listed the websites above if you can help me with that.

b550 is more future proof, it will support the next gen cpus. out of the b550 boards you mentioned, this one has the best vrms.

 

i've looked for psus on the websites, unfortunately you're left with your initial corsair picks, in terms of what's in stock. the rest aren't very good
