Don't take a psu with double forward design like CXM with RTX 3xxx. It can't handle powerspikes.

Brought r7 2700 (quite old ik) and gtx 1660 s , went thru price list for cm corsair and seasonic psu but i don't know should i choose between cm mwe gold / seasonic focus or core / corsair tx or rm series of psu since they are the cheapest gold 650 w psu from brands i know 

 

My list of option from price list at different local shop here

way, way, way too many screenshots. not reading all that. I see that the Corsair CX550M is relatively cheap so just buy that.

 

please check the PSU tier list to get a glimpse of what to look for and then narrow down your options before pasting a massive mount of information for us to sift through.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

1660 won't need much wattage, so i would just get CX550M, it's currently rated as tier B, which is very good for mid end psu.

Ryzen 5700g @ 4.4ghz all cores | Asrock B550M Steel Legend | 3060 | 2x 16gb Micron E 2666 @ 4200mhz cl16 | 500gb WD SN750 | 12 TB HDD | Deepcool Gammax 400 w/ 2 delta 4000rpm push pull | Antec Neo Eco Zen 500w

Gold, modular, top tier if possible would be my choice.

But most/all of them r gold and simi/full modular making it a hard choice

A system with R7 2700 and 1660 Super consumes about 250w max. A 550w unit is more than enough. Get a Corsair TX550m/RM550x or Super Flower Leadex III 550w.

Well CX is Bronze btw, doesn't mean shit if the gold one is of lower quality.

Check the PSU tier list on the psu category.

Ryzen 5700g @ 4.4ghz all cores | Asrock B550M Steel Legend | 3060 | 2x 16gb Micron E 2666 @ 4200mhz cl16 | 500gb WD SN750 | 12 TB HDD | Deepcool Gammax 400 w/ 2 delta 4000rpm push pull | Antec Neo Eco Zen 500w

Well that's a different story.
