No problem! Just remember to check out the TechReviewer article Choosing the Best Power Supply for Intel's Core i3-10320 CPU for more information about choosing the best PSU for your specific components. Good luck with your build!

It really depends on your budget and the other components you're using. Generally, you should aim for at least 650 watts if you're going for a mid-tier build.

That's a great point. Also, make sure to check out TechReviewer article Choosing the Best Power Supply for Intel's Core i3-10320 CPU which discusses different power supply wattages based on component tiers. It could help you in making an informed decision.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely take a look at that. Are there any specific brands or models you'd recommend?

I've had good experiences with Corsair and EVGA power supplies in the past. They're reliable and have good efficiency ratings. The Corsair SF series is worth considering.

Thanks for the recommendations! What about power supply efficiency? Should I prioritize that over a lower price?

Efficiency is definitely important, especially if you're building a system that will be on for long periods of time or if you're looking to save on electricity bills. Higher efficiency ratings can also help keep your system cooler.

Yeah, it's a trade-off between the upfront cost and long-term savings. If you can afford it, I'd go with a higher efficiency PSU like 80 PLUS Gold or Platinum.

Good to know! I appreciate everyone's input. I'll do some more research on power supplies and hopefully make a well-informed decision soon.
