Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice on selecting a power supply for my EVGA RTX 2080 8GB graphics card. I'm considering a 650W power supply since that's about all I can afford right now, but I'm unsure if it will have the right connectors. I'm still figuring out the whole power supply thing! Here are my specs: an i5 9400f processor, an Asus ROG Strix 370E gaming motherboard, and of course, the RTX 2080. Appreciate any recommendations you might have. Thanks!

If you're looking for options, the Corsair RM650 is super quiet, fully modular, and really reliable. The Seasonic Focus GX-650 is another solid choice, compact with a 10-year warranty. You can’t go wrong with the EVGA SuperNOVA 650 as it matches the EVGA style and is built to last. Lastly, the Cooler Master MWE Gold 650 V2 is often the go-to for budget Gold-rated power supplies on Amazon.
Nvidia suggests that a minimum of 650W is okay for the RTX 2080. However, make sure to check which specific power supply you're considering, as not all units perform the same.
I don't know an exact brand yet, I just know I have to stick to a 650W budget.
