FAQ
Is a 450W PSU enough for an RTX 5060 Ti?
It's the bare minimum, but we'd recommend 700W. This build peaks around 358W, and a 700W unit keeps it near 55% load — the efficiency sweet spot — with headroom for the GPU's transient spikes.
What efficiency rating should I get for an RTX 5060 Ti?
80+ Bronze or Gold. It's the best balance of price and efficiency for a build this size. Never pair a good GPU with a cheap unrated PSU.
