I'm putting together a PC with the following specs: an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, an Nvidia RTX 3600 GPU, and TForce Vulcan Z DDR4 RAM (2x8GB). Currently, I'm using a CoolerMaster MWE White 550 V2 power supply, paired with a Gigabyte B450 Aorus Pro WiFi motherboard. I have a local disk with 237GB (71.5GB free) and an extra drive with 1.81TB (558GB free). I know I need a power supply between 600W and 700W, but I'm not sure about which brands to trust. Any suggestions would be super helpful!

It's not just about the wattage, the quality of the power supply matters too. A great budget option is the MSI MAG A650BN, which is typically under $65. If you're planning to upgrade to a bigger GPU in the future or want something that’ll last for your next build, check out the Montech Century II 850W—it usually goes for less than $90 and can handle most GPUs out there.
Does it matter what other components I have? I've heard some parts don't fit well with certain builds.
