Planning on 3060 non ti version

[Delll34]

I am currently planning to buy the seasonic focus gx series 550w PSU, and a rtx 3060 (non ti) when it drops. Right now im planning for this setup https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Delll34/saved/#view=kVLPFT

I was wondering if the PSU will be enough for a 3060.

No that would be cutting it too close for comfort. Also pretty weird part choices.

 

The case just kinda sucks for airflow

Ocable cpu on a board that doesn't support it

Expensive fast small nvme drive when games and programs basically don't benefit from the speed at all (some usecases do but for the general consumer it doesn't matter)

Expensive ram when some budget optimization could get you more storage/a better board.

550w should be absolutely fine for the 3060, even the 3060Ti. The 3060Ti has a recommended wattage of 550w, so I'd imagine since you're going for the non Ti version it would be fine.

Ok, while everything in that build would "work (including the PSU)
Something like this would be much better for the price.
