Is a 600w psu enough for a evga rtx 2060 super w/ my specs?

[Hurtbringer]

It recommends a 550w or greater. I was going to get a 600w for the system, but I wonder if everything else might cause it to draw over 600w altogether? The other parts in the build are a ASUS TUF motherboard, 16gb ram, 3tb WD HDD, Ryzen 5 3600x, and 6 case fans and the back fan is double sided pull/push. Everything is rgb too, the fans, cpu cooler, rgb cable combs. rgb ram, rgb mobo. It just feels like it would all be too much for a 600w psu.

depends more on the brand/model than labeled wattage

the diablotek 1050w was a very poor even for a 500w psu

older pcs needed a strong 5v rail, newer ones need a very strong 12v rail

aviod raidmax psus just like thermaltake and cooler master

they do have a few 'good' ones but are way overpriced

So 600w wouldnt be enough? I should go 700w?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Both of those are junk.

Look at Corsair, Seasonic, BeQuiet
Gold Certified and Modular

Going by this, 600-650 watts would be plenty even for a 9900KS + 2080 Ti

pick one of these

You're not understanding. You should only be buying from Corsair, EVGA, and SeaSonic's 80+ Bronze units if you want something even remotely decent. Cooler Master, Raidmax, Thermaltake, and other mentioned brands all make awful PSUs for the most part and the only good ones are way overpriced.

Corsair CX/CXM series is great for mid-range gaming PCs. TXM is also good.

So then a 700w EVGA should be fine? I want to get modular too but they charge a lot more for semi and full modular

Modular units are often better quality internals as well. If the manufacturer won't even put in the small extra cost into even a semi-modular, it's probably not going to be very good quality.

550W would work fine, but a low quality 550W may struggle at max load if it's from a ♥♥♥♥ brand.

I thought cooler master and thermaltake made good products

yes, just no good electronic products
cases, fans, k/m and other accessories are fine, just not power supplies

when did psu prices shoot up? i couldve sworn only 2-3 years ago a 700w psu wasn't 100 bucks or more which is what most of them are going for from what ive found on amazon and newegg, besides that evga 700 BR you linked to me that's $75 on best buy.

Not power supplies. Their units are awful and they mostly outsource to HEC, one of the worst PSU manufacturers of modern PSUs.
