What PSU do you need for an RX 9060 XT?
The RX 9060 XT draws up to about 160W 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 RX 9060 XT paired with a Ryzen 5 7600 / 7600X; if your parts differ, the calculator gives your exact number in seconds.
Paired with a Ryzen 5 7600 / 7600X, this build draws about 355W at peak (160W GPU + 105W CPU + system). A 650W unit runs it at ~55% load. Absolute minimum: 450W.

FAQ
Is a 450W PSU enough for an RX 9060 XT?
It's the bare minimum, but we'd recommend 650W. This build peaks around 355W, 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 RX 9060 XT?
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.
