I would disagree with it in places.

The main example of this would be that imo "Unless it is a really budget build I'd always get atleast 750W because that gives you space for future upgrades".

聽

I'm also not entirely happy that it suggests a 750W PSU for the 4080 and 5080. I'd probably suggest 850W.

Overall, it is probably best to ignore this and just ask the people here and list the specific hardware your buying.

Common build advice:

1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won鈥檛 use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won鈥檛 (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don鈥檛 need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don鈥檛 break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn鈥檛 bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticably improve performance past 240mm.

Well I am currently rocking an entry build pc that I built last year with a聽

B550M
R5 5600
GTX 1050 2GB
32GB 3600Mhz
Kingston Nvme M.2 SSD 1TB
Gigabyte Nvme M.2 SSD 500GB
Corsair CX550 Black Label 2021

I wanted to upgrade my card for a while now and haven't quite got the money until recently, and I was looking for a 4060 8GB/5060TI 16GB or a 906016GB for my rig

I would suggest you avoid the 8GB cards if you want to play existing triple A games at more than 1080p or with RT, and I would definately avoid them if you want to play any upcoming triple A games.

聽

That said, getting back to PSUs: your 550W might be okay with a RTX 5060 Ti 16GB or a聽RX 9060 XT 16G, but it would be tight. I'd really want at least 650W to be certain of powering them properly.

It's deeper than just "What wattage of PSU"

There's a 650w that performs really well that it can perform at 99% load just fine, there's 1000w that performs like shit, so shit that it might fail even from just looking at it wrong.

There's PSU that lasts years, there's PSU that is pretty much a ticking bomb.

聽

a [Put high tdp GPU here] might work fine with minimum recommended wattage on some PSU model, while not on some others.

聽

Agree with @will0hlep, do your best to avoid 8gb cards, atleast if you're thinking of long-term use without reducing much of graphical settings.

Or worse... using potato PC mods. :x (been there, done that)

There is approximately 99% chance I edited my post

I have been hearing about avoiding 8GB cards recently and honestly, I play competitive games such as valorant, marvel rivals, etc. But I do play some triple A games here and there such as GOW or maybe even spiderman, But I always crank the settings to very low/low.

And also, I won't be planning to upgrade once I get my GPU anytime soon because I think by then I'd just prefer to make a new PC and give this to a niece/nephew or maybe a younger cousin who plays roblox when I get old.

So in short, I don't think I'll be upgrading my PSU anytime soon but thanks for the quick note though.

Well I don't think that would be a problem anytime soon!

Thanks for the quick rundown on what GPU I should get with my PSU.
