What do you think of the Corsair RM650?
Found a PC shop on Facebook Marketplace selling one brand new for less than $100 equivalent to my currency here. To those who owned such a PSU, what do you think of that power supply? :surprised_yeti:

price sound too high for a good 650w psu

i think it is a good power supply. what gfx board do you want to use? tell us, so one can say if 650 watt is enough for your pc.

I'm thinking of running a Ryzen system with the following specs:
  • AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (whether I plan to mildly OC this thing, that remains to be seen)
  • Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro WiFi
  • Zotac Geforce RTX 3060 Ti Twin Edge OC 8GB
  • 16 GB DDR4 3200Mhz RAM (I'm thinking of getting a Corsair Vengeance LPX variant for this)
  • 1 NVMe M.2 SSD at 480 GB to 500 GB capacity (I consider options from WD and Samsung with this part)
  • 2 NVME SATA SSDs at 480 GB or higher (Those from Samsung and Sandisk are appealing to me)
  • 4 120mm case fans (No RGB for me)

There, would that be able to support that with the PSU that I have in mind? :cozycrashfish:

I hail from the Philippines: I found one costing P4,500, which is 85 bucks for US prices. :cozycrashfish:

the psu you mentioned is a very good choice for the pc you want to build imho. go for it!
the nvidia 3060ti shall have a 600 watt psu minimum as i could read on the internet.

Should be fine.

I would avoid Zotac, bad company and they've had a LOT of fan failures with their newer cards recently.

Also, NVMe SSDs only use PCI-e bandwidth, an M.2 SATA drive uses SATA bandwidth and differs from 2.5" SATA SSDs by form factor primarily. They can't be NVMe AND SATA at the same time.

My alternative GPU would definitely be a 2070 Super; pretty cheap these days and it pairs with my Ryzen perfectly. :cozycrashfish:
