Some of these parts I already have, some I am targeting for purchase soon, but system I have in mind is:

 

Gigabyte Auorus Elite B550 AX mobo

Ryzen 5 5600x cpu

Radeon 6800 xt reference gpu

4x8GB 3200 Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB RAM

Samsung 970 Evo+ boot NVMe

Samsung 980 Pro game storage SSD 

Noctua Nh U12s CPU cooler

6x Corsair LL 120 fans with RGB controller

 

Recently bought a Thermaltake Smart Pro RGB 650w 80+ Bronze fully modular PSU. I've had no problems and its quiet and stable. Reviews and price were good. 7 year warranty sounded good. However, I did further research and saw some misgivings about the quality of the capacitors in particular. Should I return and get something different? It should be enough power but now I'm just nervous. I don't plan any overclocking, just want to be able to enjoy a stable and reasonbly powerful system for office use, light content creation, and casual gaming for the next few years.

make sure it is compatible with your case

Definitely sounds like a vote for a replacement! Your recommendation looks great but out of my budget. Would love something reliable and definitely needs to be under $200 USD, ideally under $150 USD. Does not need to be the most amazing thing ever, just reliable and affordable. Prefer modular just to keep all the cable runs clean.

Something like an RM750x, Focus GX 750, or Pure Power 11 should be in that price range and more than plenty for your hardware.

I went with the RM750 and will return the Thermaltake. Also going with 4x LL120 (which I already have) and 2x Noctua NF-S12A as they perform better and are cheaper and I can put them in places that are less aesthetically noticeable. 

 

Thanks everyone!
