My friend and I are debating over PC builds using PC Part Picker, and both our setups require about 374 watts. We're a bit stuck on which PSU to choose. Could anyone recommend a good one?

Check out techpowerup; they have a solid PSU recommendation database that can help you find the right one for your build!
I'd suggest going for a 750W gold efficiency PSU that comes with at least a 10-year warranty. In the US, they usually cost between $80 to $100. The Corsair RMe series is also a solid choice, even if they only offer a 7-year warranty.
Just a heads up: the average wattage on PC Part Picker might be misleading. Power supplies need to handle peak loads, especially with cards like the 7800XT, which can spike over 400 watts. AMD recommends using at least a 700W PSU for their 7000 series. If you’re cautious, a good 650W unit should work with the 7600XT. Also, look at Cybenetics ratings for quality assurance in PSUs; that's crucial!
Thanks a lot! We checked it out and we're leaning towards the RM1000e. Worst case, we'll grab the RM750e.
Thanks! We decided to go with the RM1000e.
