Look at a set of 2x16GB DDR4 3200 / DDR4 3600 and change your cpu to a Ryzen 7 5700X.

Where does that antique Antec PSU come from?

I would personally go with a gpu with more vram. 8gb is becoming very limiting these days. 12GB should be the minimum. And not the 4060 ti nvidia totally mutilated that card with its bandwidth.

He already owns the 3070.

Looks good, but the Antec High Current Gamer Bronze PSU though, it's Tier C

Would you accept to add a bit more budget on the PSU?

Since it seems you want to keep the case and PSU on the same brand, Antec NeoECO Gold 850W (Tier B) would fit well, with additional €78

Missed that, my bad. Well its always easy to upgrade gpus later I suppose.

7600 + 3070 + 32gb 6200c40

 

Its like 90€ over

 

You can cut 20€ off the cooler and get an assassin spirit but the peerless assassin means you wont have to uograde the cooler when you upgrade the cpu

 

Also 60€ for a meh 650w bronze id just look for a used 750/850w gold unit like the rm(x) which go for 40-60€, much more futureproof and all around better units than some lowend new crap that doesnt even have a useful warranty (<10 year warranty) which is literally the only merit of buying new but that doesnt really matter since its a 650w anyways

I'll probably get some hate for saying this, but Apevia has really cleaned up its act these last few years. I had an 'Apevia ATX-PR600W Prestige 600W 80+ Gold' psu for quite a while and it was great. It ran a 11600k + 3070 and a 11600k + 4070 without ever giving me any trouble. It wont give you the same upgrade path as a higher wattage unit but is an exceptional value and its and quiet and reliable if you want to save some money.

12v rail corroborates this

50a 12v so right on the 600w mark which means is a pretty decent psu at the very least since the 12v is = to psu advertised rating

 

Sure their previous psus like the apevia beast, signature, venus, etc. Series were trash and you could see that through the 12v rail

 

as an example the jupiter 1000w having a 74a 12v rail aka 888w, its literally just a glorified 900w psu rather than a 1000w psu and the 12v rail is really far off the psu advertised rating so its bound to be a pretty shit unit

 

Looking at user reviews they seem to have some qc issues but seems fine for the most part

 

Id still take a used psu though since theyre usually cheaper
