Ok my bad then, can u please tell me if i should just go for this. Since wattage is good and its a tier 3, is there any other problems?

It's unlikely to limit overclocking and will probably be fine

Hello, so I am building around this combo

Ryzen 5 2600

Zotac 1070ti AMP extreme

 

and I finished all the build but i still have to chose a good PSU, the best option that was accessible to me is Thermaltake SPS-730MPCBEU since all the stores that ship to me have corsair but out of stock and the only other brands that exist are very sketchy such as Aerocool.

I know this is enough power but is it a good PSU?

I saw the review on amazon and it seemed nice but only 5 people gave a review. 

Help! :)

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Yh I just noticed the list. Gonna probably get a thermaltake smart pro rgb. 

Is tier 3 good enough? 

Look for something gold rated from Seasonic/Corsair/EVGA/XFX

Should be acceptable, checking real reviews naturally

 

anything below Tier 2 should probably just be in the trash

The problem is that none of these brands exist where i am from.
How about Aerocool KCAS-750GM RGB 750W Modular Gold PSU 
their Project 7 made it into tier 1. My supplier stated that they are very efficient and that he did had a very low return or report rate ( he could still be lying however )
My only other option would be the one i mentioned first or something a bit better from the same company, however i checked my supplier ad he only has the thermaltakes up to tier 4 or 3 at max.

The KCAS is crap. Not sure about the gold version, but it would be really odd if a decent PSU shares the model name with a crappy one. Unless it's a bait and switch. Just because they have one good PSU in their lineup doesn't mean all of their PSUs are good.

Yh i read some bad stuff too.
What to do then, stick with a thermaltake at tier 3?

Why did you multiply 650W by 80%?

 

This entire setup with an i7-7700K overclocked to 5,0 GHz consumes 248W from the wall, at full load in Witcher 3 with HairWorks. https://ithardware.pl/testyirecenzje/test_zotac_geforce_gtx_1070_ti_amp_extreme-4773-12.html

 

I don't think your setup with Ryzen instead of i7 will consume an additional 400 Watts over those 248W.
