Sure! The Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 Series and the EVGA SuperNOVA G5 Series are both great choices for your Ryzen 5 3600XT.

Thanks for the suggestions! The EVGA SuperNOVA G5 Series seems to be more budget-friendly. How does it compare in terms of quality and reliability?

I've been using the EVGA SuperNOVA G5 Series for a while now, and it's been great. It offers good performance and has a nice build quality. The modular design makes cable management easier too.

Another option to consider is the Corsair CV450. It's not as high-wattage as the others mentioned, but it's still reliable and efficient for mid-tier builds.

Solution

These suggestions are really helpful. I think I'll look into the EVGA SuperNOVA G5 Series and Corsair CV450. Any recommendations on how much wattage I should aim for with my Ryzen 5 3600XT?

For your Ryzen 5 3600XT, you shouldn't need more than a 550-watt power supply. That should be enough for most mid-tier components. However, it's always good to have a little extra headroom, so you might want to consider a 650-watt or higher if you plan on upgrading your GPU in the future.

I agree with @ethinker. A 550-watt power supply should be sufficient for your Ryzen 5 3600XT build. Just make sure it has good efficiency ratings, like 80 PLUS Gold or Platinum, to save on electricity bills and reduce noise levels.

You're right. Efficiency is important, especially if you plan on running multiple GPUs in the future. It's also worth considering a power supply with modular cables, which can make cable management much easier.

Great advice! Thanks everyone for your input. I'll definitely keep efficiency and modularity in mind when shopping for a new power supply.
