Hello,

Ive recently been scavenging through the web to find a good enough psu for my new build. this build contains the following: i5-10600k, 240mm AIO, ITX motherboard, 3200mhz ram, 3060 TI, 1 tb ssd. in all i was thinking a Corsair CX650w 80+ bronze would do the trick, thoughts?

the CX650 gray label is decent, though I'd personally pay the extra for something like a Thermaltake GF1. I'm thinking a lot more long term with a 10 year warranty vs a 5 year, but if you are going to replace it in 5 years anyway, the CX would be okay.

 

I also personally think you shouldn't cheap out on a PSU with higher end hardware, but again, the CX is decent and shouldn't cause any problems.

Yea i’ll more then likely be replacing in the near future, this is more to just get everything up and running and see how it goes. Thank you!
