what sort of PSU should i be aiming for , for a ryzen 3600x, GTX1060 with a couple of sata drives and an AIO cooler 450-550w?
A good quality 550w psu from a reputable brand will be more than enough for that set up. However, should you upgrade to a more powerful gpu in future you will also more than likely need a bigger psu so it may be worth buying one with the potential to cover future upgrades.
this is for a budget build for a friend from mostly second hand parts, they wont be upgrading to a higher tier in the future, that PSU is more than the motherboard and CPU put togetherif you want to upgrade in the future i would get a 850w from a decent brand like seasonic who make their own https://www.overclockers.co.uk/seas...w-80-gold-modular-power-supply-ca-08m-ss.html
or if you dont need the pcie 5 connection yet but can still use 2 x 8 pin for the adapter that comes with new graphics cards then i would get this https://www.overclockers.co.uk/phanteks-amp-850w-80-plus-gold-modular-power-supply-ca-0ar-pt.html which is also made by seasonic with a 10 year warranty too
