I'm trying to find a compatible power supply for my new RTX 4060 LP GPU. My setup includes an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G processor and 32 GB of RAM in an HP desktop from Best Buy. I've seen a lot of conflicting recommendations regarding wattage ranging from 500W to 1000W. Could anyone share their advice on what power supply would be the best fit for my system?

A quick Google search suggests that a 550W power supply will do the trick for the RTX 4060 LP, but you might want to consider 750W or 850W models too. They’re around $50 and give you more leeway for upgrades down the line, so it’s kind of worth it if you don’t mind being a bit overkill.
For the RTX 4060 LP, which operates at around 115W, NVIDIA recommends a minimum PSU wattage of 300W. If you're in the US, there are decent 500W to 650W power supplies available for $50-$65. You might also find some higher-tier 750W models with 10-year warranties starting at about $80.
Honestly, just asking about the power supply without mentioning your system specs is a bit like asking what tires to get for your car without saying what type of car it is! More details would help a lot.
To give good advice, it's essential to know more about your entire setup. What other components are inside your PC?
I appreciate the tip! Should I list details like storage drives and any peripherals too?
Got it! I'll make sure to include more specs next time.
