I'm building my first PC and I need some help with choosing a power supply unit (PSU). Here's what I've got so far for my components:
- **CPU:** Intel i7 12700KF
- **GPU:** 5060 Windforce OC
- **Motherboard:** Z790-A WiFi
- **CPU Cooler:** Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120SE
- **Storage:** Samsung 990PRO
- **RAM:** Kingston Fury 16GB (2x8GB)
- **Case:** [Link to case](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQJHT76L?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1)
Can anyone suggest what PSU wattage I should be looking for? Also, do you have any other recommendations or comments to improve my build? Additionally, I'm curious if liquid cooling is really worth the extra cost over air cooling, or if it's mostly for aesthetics?

You can easily find compatible PSUs on pcpartpicker.com; just input your components there and it'll point you to suitable options.
I’d recommend something like a Corsair RM850e (2025). It should fit your build perfectly!
Thanks for the suggestion!
