What are my options for a quiet build and gaming at 1440p?

Unless I'm reading it wrong they're both in the same tier:

Tier S are bequiet , both would have been in the Tier 1 off the older class scale, but as with new techs, models,oem/vendors entering in the market they added more tiers

Vii seems to consume the same power as the 64 or slightl less . all new Vega design was a power hog! plus AMD bios, navi is the design that should save power , specially at 7nm

Ah right, that's the more expensive Dark Power Pro lineup.

ah silly me, was getting mixed up . yep your right , units are the same tier . apologies. need to grab some coffee in work i think !

this is handy , shows power load for components

not sure if Corsair has one but must vendors/oem do like seasonic

I reckon the be quiet! PSU might be the better choice and possibly quieter under load, so overall the better one to pick. Updated basket:

@davidmt83

heads up with B550... its Q3 , pretty sure late Q3 ( i delete roadmaps after viewing ) - so might have to wait longer . Budget entry X570 should do the trick though . Cant remember if more PCIe lanes have been assigned to X570 to further compete with Intel ( ability to house more nvme drives on z390/b360 but x299 has been less then thread ripper- until now)

OH OH OH on deal! bit overkill but cheaper ! and just incase you need the extra power or have less load so lower RPM

Thinking about it more I think I'll get the RMx 750w, increased power gives more headroom before the 40% load is reached. Can't get more silent than 0RPM

Vega 56 uses roughly 250w by its self

Good testing from kit guru as able to isolate GPU draw accurately by its self .

Ryzen overclock or intel overclocked on all cores can draw a lot of tdp, normally 150w . Tatsed tdp on the box are base speed/turbo etc
