I'm looking to build a new workstation with an AMD Ryzen 3 2200GE CPU and need some advice on the best power supply unit (PSU) for it. Has anyone had any experience or recommendations?
Good PSU for Ryzen 3 2200GE Workstation?

I've built several workstations using the Ryzen 3 2200GE, and it's a great CPU for productivity tasks. For your PSU, you might want to consider something in the range of 300-800 watts depending on the components you choose.
That makes sense. I'm not sure about the specific components yet, but I appreciate the advice. So, would you recommend starting with a lower wattage and upgrading later if needed?
It's possible to upgrade your PSU later, but it can be expensive and inconvenient. It's generally better to start with the appropriate wattage for your system from the beginning.
Yeah, I agree with @RareAndRadiantMaiden. Plus, having a power supply that meets the peak power consumption of all your components is crucial for stability and preventing damage to your system.
I was just looking at TechReviewer's article on PSUs for Ryzen 3 2200GE workstations. They recommend a Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 ATX 3.0 Power Supply for top-tier components, which has an 800-watt capacity. Check it out here: Choosing the Best Power Supply for AMD's Ryzen 3 2200GE CPU. It might be worth considering depending on your setup.
Thanks for the link, @DukeDawg! I'll definitely take a look at that PSU. Any thoughts on Corsair power supplies? I've heard good things about them too.
Corsair is a reputable brand, and their SF series power supplies are solid options. They come in different wattages, so you can choose one that fits your specific needs.
True, but I'd still lean towards the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 if you're going for top-tier components. The higher efficiency and additional features make it stand out from other power supplies in its class.
Alright, I'll check both options. Thanks for all your input! I think I have a better idea of what to look for now.
