I'm planning to build a new gaming PC with an RTX 5060 Ti and want to ensure I choose the best power supply unit (PSU) for it. What wattage and features should I look for in a PSU? Are there any specific models you recommend that provide good value and reliability? Thanks in advance for your help!

tbh 600W is the sweet spot but dont overspend on high-end ratings like platinum unless you really care about that tiny bit of efficiency. I remember buying a massive 1000W unit years ago thinking I was 'future proofing' for a mid-tier card, and it was basically a waste of cash. These days I focus on reliability over raw wattage. Heres what I'd look at if you want to save some money without buying a fire hazard: 1. Corsair RM650 - Super reliable, fully modular which makes building so much easier.
2. Cooler Master MWE Gold 650 V2 - Usually pretty cheap and solid performance for the price.
3. EVGA 600 GD - A great budget-friendly 80+ Gold option if you dont mind non-modular cables. Definately check the PSU Tier List online too, its saved me from buying junk more than once. Just stick to Tier B or higher for a 5060 Ti and you'll be fine.
