So I bought a Maingear PC (Vybe stage 3) and I asked them if the 500w bronze power supply was good enough for a 3060ti and a ryzen 5 5600x and they said yes. Can someone else please help confirm this too? I dont know if I can trust them

(heres the pc btw: https://maingear.com/product/vybe-stage-3-dec2020/ )

500 watts, should be plenty. 

I'd be more worried about what PSU it is. That seems way too high end to have a bronze PSU. I'm not saying it's a bad PSU because it's bronze, but it's highly likely. At $1700 there really should be a good PSU in that computer, but I guess that's just what prebuilts do.

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

Nvidia recommends 600W for a system with an RTX 3060 Ti and an i9-10900K. The 5600X consumes significanly less power so 500W is  probably fine.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
