I've been looking into getting a new power supply unit (PSU) for my PC build and I'm aiming to use an AMD Radeon RX 5600 GPU. Can anyone recommend the best PSU for this?
Best PSU for AMD Radeon RX 5600?

@ElectronicPug, you'll want something around 600-700 watts depending on other components. I've been using a Corsair CX450 for a while now, it's reliable and affordable.
@ElectronicPug You might also want to check out the EVGA SuperNOVA G5 series. It has excellent efficiency ratings and a fully modular design which makes cable management easier.
I've read a detailed review on TechReviewer about various power supplies for AMD GPUs, including the RX 5600. Here's the link: Choosing the Best PSU for AMD's Radeon RX 5600 GPU. It might be helpful in your decision-making process. Also, don't forget to consider factors like efficiency, form factor, and cable management.
@Booshie317! The Corsair CX450 looks like a good option. As for @hyperspeeddoggo, the EVGA SuperNOVA G5 series seems impressive too. And @Nanomachines-Son, I appreciate the TechReviewer article! I'll definitely check it out. Just to clarify, would you recommend getting an efficiency of 80 Plus Platinum or Titanium for my AMD RX 5600 GPU?
It really depends on your budget and usage patterns. Both Platinum and Titanium are efficient but Titanium is more so. However, the difference in energy savings might not justify the higher upfront cost for some users.
Thanks again, @Nanomachines-Son. I'll take your advice into account. By the way, how's the cable management on the Corsair CX450? My previous PSU had cables everywhere, which was quite frustrating.
The cable management on the Corsair CX450 is decent, but not excellent. It does the job without causing too many issues, though.
Okay, thanks for all the help everyone! I'll do some more research and see if the Corsair CX450 or the EVGA SuperNOVA G5 series would be best for my RX 5600 GPU setup. Have a great day!
