I need help with PSU

[Ifufin]

Hello. I hope someone here can help me. Is Seasonic 650W CORE GC-650 80 plus gold PSU enough to power Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 EAGLE OC 12GB GDDR6 and AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, AM4, 3.7 GHz, 6-Core, Boxed. I read from the internet that even 500w could run these parts but then I remembered that Linus said when the 3070 3080 3090 launched that for these gpus you should use a lot more power than is recommended. thanks for reading. :)

650w should be plenty, i have a 750w with a 3080 which needs around 150w more than the 3060

Seasonic Core, meh. Do you still have that PSU?

It looks like a decent enough PSU, although there are no reviews on it to confirm that. Although if you already have it then keep it, 650W is enough for RTX3060. But if you want to buy it i'd suggest to look for other, properly reviewed options.

You have a 750W EVGA G3.  OP is talking about a Seasonic Core 650W. Even if the wattage was the same, there's still quite a difference in quality.

Do you already have it or are you just considering it because it's cheap?
