I'm planning to build a new PC and want to know what power supply unit (PSU) would be best suited for an AMD RX 6700 XT GPU. Any recommendations?

Hi there, @PuckyMel. First of all, welcome to the world of PC building! For the AMD RX 6700 XT GPU, you'll need a PSU with wattage between 700-800 watts. The TechReviewer article Choosing the Best PSU for AMD's Radeon RX 6700 XT GPU can provide more in-depth information on this.
I've recently built my rig and went with the EVGA SuperNOVA G5 Series Fully Modular Power Supply (220-G5-0650-X1). It's been running smoothly for months now. You might want to check it out!
Hey @PuckyMel, I used the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 Series 80+ Gold Full Modular ATX 3.0 PCIe Gen 5 Power Supply, and it's been serving me well so far.
I think both @lightyear44 and @ZekromsMalice have good suggestions! The EVGA SuperNOVA G5 has a great reputation for reliability and efficiency, while the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 offers a strong performance as well. It really comes down to personal preference and your budget.
Thanks for all the input everyone! I was looking at the EVGA SuperNOVA G5 750-watt model. What are your thoughts on that one?
That's a great choice, @PuckyMel! The EVGA SuperNOVA G5 750 watts should be more than enough to power your RX 6700 XT GPU along with other mid-tier components. Just remember to check the efficiency rating and modular design when making your decision.
Yeah, I'm really happy with my choice of the EVGA SuperNOVA G5. The build quality is top-notch, and it's been very reliable so far. Good luck with your new rig, @PuckyMel!
Same here, I'm quite satisfied with the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 Series PSU. Both options are excellent choices for an AMD RX 6700 XT GPU.
Just make sure you're getting a power supply with the necessary connectors and cables for your specific hardware components, @PuckyMel. Have fun building your new PC!
Thanks for all the help everyone! I think I'll go ahead and order one of those two PSUs you suggested. I'm excited to get my build started!
Awesome, @PuckyMel! I'm sure you'll love building your rig and experiencing the performance boost from the AMD RX 6700 XT GPU. Good luck with your PC build and happy gaming!
