Hey everyone! I'm building my first gaming PC, and I'd love your input on a couple of components. Here are my current specs: I'm using an AMD Ryzen 5 7500F CPU, an ASUS PRIME B650M-K motherboard, an ASSASSIN SPIRIT 120 EVO for cooling, Patriot Viper 32GB RAM, an ASUS PRIME RTX 5060 Ti GPU with 16GB, a 1TB Kingston NV3 M.2 NVMe SSD for storage, and a Corsair 4000D ARGB case.
I have a couple of questions:
1. What wattage would you recommend for the PSU? I'm looking for something efficient but not overly expensive unless it's truly worth it.
2. I'm considering whether to get a micro ATX motherboard with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth or to go for separate components. What are your thoughts on this? If I go for the combo, any specific models you'd recommend? Is an onboard solution really reliable, or should I stick to separate devices?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I noticed your NV3 drive is QLC, which isn't as durable in the long run. You might want to look into getting a TLC drive for better longevity and performance, like the WD Blue SN5000 or the Patriot VP4300 Lite.
For your PSU, I recommend the MSI A650BN. It's a solid choice and won’t break the bank. If you want, you could also consider a modular unit for easier cable management.
Regarding the motherboard, I personally prefer ones with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It saves you the hassle of using external adapters, and overall, it just keeps things neat and tidy.
