Anyone Have PSU recommendations?

• It needs to be at least 600 watts
• it should be 40 to 55 USD
• If you want to give your own power recommendations, here are the specs:
• 5700g
• RTX 3060 12gb
• 16 GB ddr4 3200 mhz ram
• MATX MOBO
• 1 tb ssd
• 140 mm aio with 2 fans

Not sure there is a good 650w PSU for $50, so you're looking at something like this or similar..

Good find, I did a search for 650w, not 600.  I am locked into PSU's being x50, dumb of me though.

Good quote, don't know who I got it from - 

With a 30 series card it may be the difference between catastrophic shutdown and peace and tranquility

 

Also the apevia prestige isn't amazing since 100w is on the 3.3 and 5 volt rail so only about 500 of those watts are real

Also I don't think their addition is adding up

Anyone with experience will tell you, never skimp on the PSU. It's the beating heart of your machine. You may have heard of cheap PSU's frying and blowing up people's machines, but even if they don't, cheap PSU's can cause system instability, BSOD's, and wear down your hardware over time.

 

Don't build a nice house on toothpicks. It's going to collapse at some point. ALWAYS have a budget for a halfway decent PSU, not just wattage or 80 Plus efficiency either. You should also scale your PSU budget with your build. High end builds should have high end PSU's (Platinum or Titanium, super name brand)

 

This right here is $90 , a fantastic deal, and is insanely good / high quality. 10 year warranty and would last you multiple builds. Feed your computer fine nutrition, not junk food.
