I'm planning to build a new PC and need some help figuring out the minimum wattage power supply for an Intel Core i3-10305 CPU. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi @gabrarlz! The minimum wattage requirement depends on the components you choose. For top-tier components, you'll need around 850 watts, while mid-tier will require 550 watts and value-tier just needs 350 watts. A good article to check out is Choosing the Best Power Supply for Intel's Core i3-10305 CPU.
Thanks for the information, @Nanomachines-Son. That helps a lot! So if I were to go with top-tier components, should I look for an 850-watt power supply?
Yeah, that's right @gabrarlz. For a system with your specs and top-tier components like a high-end GPU and fast RAM, an 850-watt power supply would be a good choice. Make sure you also consider the future upgrades you might want to make.
I've been using an Intel Core i3-10305 CPU for some time now. The recommended power supply wattage is really important. You should read this TechReviewer article Choosing the Best Power Supply for Intel's Core i3-10305 CPU that explains it in detail.
Thanks everyone for the help! I'll definitely check out the article and keep the wattage requirements in mind when building my new PC. Appreciate the advice!
No problem, @gabrarlz! Good luck with your build and feel free to ask if you have any more questions.
Same here, @gabrarlz. And remember, always choose a trusted brand and power supply model that consistently delivers the required wattage. Happy building!
Agreed, @AeroTheSoldier. Safety first! Good luck with your build, @gabrarlz.
