Ryzen 5 3400G PSU Comparison?

I'm building a PC around the AMD Ryzen 5 3400G CPU and I'm struggling to figure out which power supply unit (PSU) is best for it. Can anyone provide some recommendations based on their experience?

I've used the Corsair SF series for my PC, they're pretty good in terms of reliability and efficiency. What specific wattage do you need for your Ryzen 5 3400G build?

Thanks for the suggestion! Based on some research, it seems like I might need a power supply with around 550 watts for mid-tier components.

That's correct. However, if you plan to upgrade in the future or overclock your CPU/GPU, it would be wise to go with a slightly higher wattage PSU.
