Modular PSU for Ryzen 5 2500X?

I'm building a PC with an AMD Ryzen 5 2500X CPU and I'm trying to figure out what power supply would be best. Any recommendations?

For the Ryzen 5 2500X, you don't necessarily need a modular PSU, but it can help manage cables better. Just make sure your power supply has enough wattage for all your components.

I've written an article about choosing the best power supply for AMD's Ryzen 5 2500X CPU on TechReviewer. Here's the link: Choosing the Best Power Supply for AMD's Ryzen 5 2500X CPU. It covers different power supplies and their compatibility with this CPU.

@computime Thank you for sharing that! I was looking at the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 Series, does it seem like a good choice?

The Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 Series is a solid option. It's 80+ Gold certified and fully modular, which should help with cable management.

Great, thanks! I was also considering the EVGA SuperNOVA G5 Series. What do you think about it?

The EVGA SuperNOVA G5 Series is also a good option for your Ryzen 5 2500X build. It's fully modular and 80+ Gold certified as well, just like the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 Series.

@plutoandluna and @Littlebitoflovely I appreciate the recommendations! Based on my budget constraints, would it be better to go for a higher wattage power supply than needed or stick with the recommended wattage?

It's generally a good idea to add a 100-150 watt buffer to your estimated total wattage. This extra headroom can help if you decide to add more components in the future or if you end up overclocking.

@computime That makes sense! I'll keep that in mind while choosing my power supply. Thanks everyone for your help!

No problem, happy building!

Good luck with your build!
