I'm planning to use an RTX 5060 (the three-fan version) for my build and want to know if a 500W power supply will be sufficient. Also, I'm considering a Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, so I want to ensure everything will work well together. Any advice would be appreciated!

You'll definitely need to check the power draw for both the RTX 5060 and your Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Generally, a solid 500W PSU should handle it, especially if you're not planning on heavily overclocking.
It's important to remember that not all 500W power supplies are created equal. Make sure you get one from a reputable brand, as quality matters just as much as wattage.
Got it! I'll look for a quality brand. This is my first build, so I appreciate the help!
Thanks for the tip! I'm just worried because I've heard mixed things about power supplies. What's the best way to check the draw?
