I'm looking to build an RTX 3060 Ti  Ryzen 7 3700X PC, but I'm not sure what I should do for the PSU. I was thinking 650 watts, but is that overkill? Just about every PSU I look at on Amazon have these horror stories as top reviews, so it's driving me away from nearly every PSU. I'm on a budget so I don't need anything too fancy, 80+ Bronze Semi-Modular is ideal. I appreciate any help!

I Have a Corsair RM650x Fully modular 80+ gold unit and I have had no issues. Cost me 112$ and my only complaint is the cables are a little stiff.

Others will recommend other things and this might be out of your price bracket but it's what I have and it works fine 🙂
