I'm curious about how trustworthy PCPartPicker is, especially when it comes to the power usage calculations for components. Can I really rely on it to get accurate wattage estimates?

It's kind of a mixed bag. PCPartPicker is a solid starting point, but if you're worried about specifics, it's always smart to double-check or ask here for more tailored advice.
I'm thinking about switching my CPU cooler to the Thermalright Peerless Assassin SE and my current setup includes a 600W PSU. I'm not sure if it'll be enough for my new components, especially since I'm planning to add more RAM. Here's my current build:
- AMD Ryzen 5 3600XT
- G.Skill FlareX 2x8 16GB RAM (looking to add the same)
- B450 AORUS M
- Gigabyte Eagle RTX 3060
- Masterbox MB511 case
Do you think I need to worry about compatibility?
