I'm gearing up to buy some parts for my new PC build, and I could really use some advice. Currently, I'm using a placeholder graphics card I picked up for €100, but I plan to upgrade to a 9070XT soon. I'm trying to decide whether I should stick with the B650M motherboard or go for the B850M version, which costs an additional €50. Also, I'm considering whether to get an 850W power supply or if a 750W one would suffice. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Honestly, you won't miss anything by sticking with the B650M motherboard. It's perfectly fine for your needs. For the power supply, I recommend going with the 850W since you're planning for the 9070XT. If you're looking for some extra headroom, a 1000W would be a safe bet, especially since some of the custom models may draw more power. Hope that helps! 🤙
As for the motherboard, the B650M should work just great, especially if you're planning to upgrade later. Regarding the power supply, I'd lean towards the 850W to ensure stability. Some models can be quite power-hungry, so it’s better to be safe. Good luck with your build!
Thanks for the reassurance! I think I’ll go with the 850W then.
Agreed! I think you're on the right track with the 850W. It gives you flexibility for future upgrades.
