Yeah, that article is really helpful! I went with the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 Series 80+ Gold Full Modular ATX 3.0 PCIe Gen 5 Power Supply, and it works great with my i5-13600.

Thanks for sharing @ryancshort. I'm also looking for a power supply that will work well with the i5-13600 CPU. What are your thoughts on EVGA SuperNOVA G5 Series Fully Modular Power Supply (220-G5-0650-X1)?

That's interesting! How does the EVGA SuperNOVA G5 compare in terms of efficiency and certification?

The EVGA SuperNOVA G5 comes with an 80 PLUS Gold certification, which ensures high efficiency and reliability. It also has a modular design, making it easy to cable manage.

That's great to know! How does the warranty on the EVGA SuperNOVA G5 compare to the Thermaltake Toughpower GF3?

The Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 has a 10-year warranty, while the EVGA SuperNOVA G5 offers a 7-year warranty. Both seem to have good customer support.

Thanks for all the info! I think I'll check out both options and see which one fits my budget and needs better. Appreciate your help, everyone!
