What PSU do you need for an RTX 5060 Ti?
The RTX 5060 Ti draws up to about 180W 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 5060 Ti paired with a Ryzen 5 9600X; if your parts differ, the calculator gives your exact number in seconds.
Paired with a Ryzen 5 9600X, this build draws about 358W at peak (180W GPU + 88W CPU + system). A 700W unit runs it at ~51% load. Absolute minimum: 450W.

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.
