What PSU do you need for an RTX 2060 Super?
The RTX 2060 Super draws up to about 175W under full load. On its own that only tells half the story — your total system power (and so the PSU you need) depends just as much on your CPU, drives and cooling. This page sizes a supply for the RTX 2060 Super paired with a Ryzen 5 3600; if your parts differ, the calculator gives your exact number in seconds.
Paired with a Ryzen 5 3600, this build draws about 353W at peak (175W GPU + 88W CPU + system). A 650W unit runs it at ~54% load. Absolute minimum: 450W.

FAQ
Is a 450W PSU enough for an RTX 2060 Super?
It's the bare minimum, but we'd recommend 650W. This build peaks around 353W, and a 650W 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 2060 Super?
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.
