I've ordered an RTX 9060 16GB graphics card to use with a Ryzen 5 5600 processor, and my current power supply is only rated at 450W. I'm considering the DeepCool PF600 600W 80+, but I've seen concerns about its quality. Would a 600W or 650W unit be sufficient, and which reliable budget models should I consider?

Before buying anything, check the exact GPU model and its manufacturer-recommended power supply rating. Product names and power requirements can vary, and the official specification is more reliable than a general estimate. Seasonic has a solid reputation, and Corsair also has several dependable budget and midrange options.
The MSI MAG A650BN would be a more reasonable direction than the PF600 if it’s well priced where you live. Just make sure it has the correct PCIe power connectors and enough headroom for your particular card. If you can afford it, choosing a better-reviewed 650W Gold model is preferable to buying the cheapest available unit.
I’d skip the PF600. It’s a budget unit with a poor reputation, so saving a little money there probably isn’t worth the risk. Look for a model rated B-tier or better on a reputable PSU tier list, preferably with a longer warranty. A good 650W unit should be a sensible target if the graphics card’s official requirements support it.
