Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice on power supply requirements. I'm considering a setup with a 9060 XT graphics card and an R5 7600X processor. I've used a few PSU calculators and the highest wattage recommended was 650W, especially if I plan on overclocking. Another resource estimated my total wattage needs at around 386W. With that in mind, do you think a PSU in the range of 650-750W would be adequate for this CPU/GPU combo? Or would you suggest going for something higher or different?

A 650W PSU is more than sufficient for your setup, especially if you don't plan on upgrading to a more powerful GPU in the near future. Your system will likely consume less than 400W, so you should be good to go!
If you really think you might upgrade to a better GPU down the line, I'd recommend going for an 850W PSU just to have some extra headroom for future power demands.
That's a good point! What brands do you recommend for reliable 850W PSUs?
