PSU x 3060 & Ryzen 7 3700x

Bakisha

Budget (including currency): About 900 Euros.

Country: Montenegro.

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly gaming and programming. 

Other details: I currently have a 1650 and i5 9400f. I'm thinking of buying an RTX 3060, Ryzen 7 3700x, Gigabyte B550 Gaming X and 2x8gb 3200MHz HyperX RAM. I currently have a 750W White Tier 80+ Cooler Master power supply. I'm making this thread to ask if a PSU upgrade is necessary or not. I will not overclock anything.

750w is totally fine, could work with 550-600w too.

Just unsure what quality that PSU is, but since you already have or used it, should do fine.

 

So no need for an "upgrade", the GPU due to prices is not quite worth it, where once the 3060 Ti was in general a better choice.

If you had an 3090 or more, then your PSU might begin to struggle.

750W will be fine.

Thanks for the reply! I'm planning on upgrading next year or so... I'm waiting for the parts to get in stock and for the prices to drop...
