Reddit mentions of CORSAIR TXM Series, TX550M, 550 Watt, 80+ Gold Certified, Semi Modular Power Supply

Something like this would be great. LINK

At 550W you've got a lot of headroom. 400W would be cutting it close, specially if you upgrade down the line.

It's not really a good PSU for the price.

Seasonic Focus Gold 550W | 650W

EVGA G2 550W | 650W

Corsair TXM 550W | 650W

Go for this psu instead:

And this ram:

Ryzen loves faster ram, and dual channel makes a huge difference

False alarm!! I couldn't find the PSU on parts picker so I picked the wrong one. This is the one I bought.

Thanks, I think I'm going to go with the Corsair TXM 550. I appreciate the help.

If I had to point my finger at your problem, it'd definitely be that. There's an old expression when it comes to PC building: Never cheap out on your power supply. Sorry to be a dick, but the one you picked up is definitely doing exactly that.

I'd return your power supply to Amazon as defective, and get something like a Corsair TX550m as it'd be a colossal upgrade in power supply quality. If you want to stay with EVGA, they sell some really great power supplies (the W1 just isn't one of them), you might consider the G3 550W.

Well, if you can get an SU800 512GB for 80$:

Then a 550W power supply for 90$:

You should be left with 290$ for a GPU.

You could easily get a used 580 8GB for that price, or even a 590, and be left with a lot of money for a good case and fans.

Cheap-ish but still pretty decent: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01MRW2K79/

Or if you want to get something a little higher end:

Yes exactly! Yours is leaving the snake of den of cable every where. My power supply (Corsair TX550) is Semi-Modular, so it has half of the optional connectors, the rest is part of the main cord. Fully Modular has an option for everything and no cord is permanently attached, you decide what you need. Really tidies up the build when unnecessary connections are eliminated.

Here are some links on Amazon, you'll get an idea from the pics...
