psu ideas?

[Eathalias]

Any ideas for an upgrade to a psu? I'm currently running a 500W evga 80+ white and would like to eventually get to where I'm running either a ryzen 1700 build with a possibility of crossfire (but not likely)  or an 7700k paired with at the most a 1070.

would a 650W be beefy enough to compensate for either goal? I'm on the fence about overclocking, probably won't oc until I need to later in the cpu's life to boost longevity.

Wattage of a PSU is important, however you should more prioritize build quality.

Get something at least tier 3 from the tier list. The EVGA white isn't a good PSU.

A decent 650w PSU should be fine

450-550 watts should be fine, something like the corsair cx450m (grey) should work.

I was actually looking at the EVGA SuperNova G2 650w since I wanted to have gold rating just didn't know if the wattage would be able to hold up. Thanks!!

Thanks!

The EVGA G2 is a solid choice. However the CX-M grey also not bad, just lower quality components.
