What's the Best Power Supply for My New PC Build?
Asked by
TechieGiraffe123
I'm putting together a new PC and looking for advice on the power supply. Here are my specs: CPU is a Ryzen 9 5950x, GPU is a 5070 Ti with 16GB, and I'm using an X570 Steel Legend motherboard. I'm new to building PCs and could really use some guidance on the right power supply to get. What wattage and model should I consider?

Check out the SPL PSU Tier List on Google—it's super helpful! Aim for at least a C tier if you're on a budget, but A tier is ideal. A minimum of 750W is good, though 850W is best for future proofing. A decent PSU can last you up to 10 years!

CuriousCat88: Is 1000W an overkill? I'm eyeing the Be Quiet Pure Power 12 or the Corsair RM1000x.
