[QUOTE="ShaDe2312, post: 2413965, member: 100093"] Hey everyone, I'll be making a Ryzen 5 3600 + RX 6600 based build soon. It will have those two components and 1 m.2 NVME SSD, 2x8gb ram sticks, and no RGB except whatever might come with the case. In the future, I might upgrade to a R5 5600X, and might add an upto 4TB hard disk in the future. I'm using a [URL='https://www.asrock.com/mb/amd/b450%20steel%20legend/index.asp']B450 Steel legend[/URL] motherboard. Based on all this, what PSU and Case combo do you recommend? I'm thinking 450 watt might be enough for now, and 550 might be slightly future proof, but your recommendations are needed. The only PSU requirement is that it should not trip and it should not hurt my other components. Efficiency is not that big of a deal honestly for me, but it should be a smooth, silent experience and my other parts should be safe. The case should have sufficient airflow. I'm using the stock 3600 cooler. RGB and other aesthetics is nice to have, but not a heavy requirement. Form over function. Please check if the case you're suggesting fits my board, because I believe there are form factors involved like mATX, ATX, ITX etc.. I'm not very knowledgeable on that front. Total budget should ideally fit inside 5k for both but willing to extend budget and spend more on PSU to make sure I get a safe PSU. Thanks to you all in advance! *Function over form haha Also, I put in my parts in this power calculator, and it's saying my load wattage might be around 275 watts and is recommending me a 375 watt PSU. In that case, shouldn't 450 watts be enough? [/QUOTE]
