Im trying to build my first computer and honestly I have no idea where to start with the power part. Its all so confusing with the different colors like gold and bronze and I am worried if I pick a cheap one it will like explode or something lol. I was told I need a 650W one for the graphics card I got which is a 3060. I dont have a ton of money left after buying the other parts so I am looking for something that wont break the bank but also wont kill my whole system.

Here is what I am looking for:

  • price needs to be under $75 if possible
  • needs to not be super loud because its going in my bedroom
  • has to be reliable enough to last a couple years
  • easy to plug in because I am scared of messing up the wires

I am shopping mostly on Amazon or maybe Best Buy since there is one near my house in Ohio. Is there a specific brand that is safe for beginners? I see some for $40 but that feels too cheap right? Sorry if this is a really basic thing to ask I just dont want to set my house on fire or ruin my new parts...

Dude you are totally fine!! Building is scary at first but you got this! I love the MSI MAG A650BN 650W 80 Plus Bronze for budget builds because its super solid and wont blow up lol.

  • Super quiet fan
  • Really cheap right now
  • Way better than those scary 40 dollar no-name ones! Its definitely my go-to for a 3060 build on a budget!
