So I am planning on getting a computer (well Maybe,) but when I put it on PC part picker it said that the computer will need 80-340W but I might upgrade (if I will get one, well at least if not then this will help someone (hopefully)) but what I am planning on getting for the PSU is a 650W PSU, I watched the techquickey and it just made it harder, so should I just stick to 400 to 500 or should I just go 650? (I'm planning on getting a modular PSU) Hopefully, I'll get it through the summer from a summer job, Thank you, and thanks to Linus for great videos.

Depends on what components are inside and what are you going to upgrade to.

Do you have a specific 650W Power Supply? If it is the same price as a 500W and atleast an 80+ Bronze, I would say go for it. It can be used for newer parts down the road, like a GPU or CPU upgrade.
