Hi, I'm looking for suggestions from the community about these PC parts:
Motherboard - Asrock b550m pro4
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 5600
GPU - ASRock Radeon RX 6700 XT Challenger Pro 12GB OC
RAM - G Skill Ripjaws (2x8) 16GB 3600mhz
SSD - Kingston SNV2S1000G
PSU - FSP HV Pro 650W 85+ Bronze
Case - Montech X3 Mesh
Any advice or alternatives would be appreciated.
I'm planning to play Battlefield, COD, Warzone, and Hogwarts Legacy titles from early 2023 onward. The resolution should not exceed 1440p, and the PC will also be used for work.
Is the PSU sufficient for these components? I've noticed some users report issues with the 6700 XT in certain games and crashes. Do these problems still exist today, or have driver updates resolved them?

Your build appears well-balanced with no obvious problems. Since I'm unfamiliar with your PSU, my main worry is its quality—it's not clear if it's of high standard. A 650W unit would suffice if the PSU is reliable. Regarding the 6700 XT, it experienced some crashing issues, which isn't uncommon as many GPUs can have driver problems from time to time. I haven't seen many recent complaints, so it seems the issue might have been fixed.

Hi, thank you for your message. You're planning to buy a different PSU, specifically the "Cooler Master MWE 750w V2," and you want to know if it's suitable for your build. Looking forward to your response.

Is that the Gold rated PSU? If yes, then it's a solid choice. Even if it's their Bronze version, I think it's still quite decent. The 750w capacity is more than sufficient for your setup, and having extra capacity is better than risking performance limits with a smaller unit.

The MWE V2 gold is a mid-range PSU, not the top choice but still decent. I’d suggest investing a bit more for 10 years of peace of mind.

This list will assist in picking the optimal PSU from hundreds of options available. Whether you’re on a budget or aiming for the premium end, it covers all bases.

The idea of using a 750w was considered for extra capacity and safety.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep this in mind, but upgrading might take a few years. For now, the MWE V2 Gold seems like a solid option.
Also, with the RX 6700 XT, I'm aware there are different power sockets and PSU variations affecting cable connections.
What's better:
• separate cables for each pin
• or one cable but with an extra connector for my GPU?

Separate cables are provided. Each 8 pin can handle up to 150W, ensuring the GPU receives sufficient power. You should draw from the PSU's 4 units, selecting 2 for PCI-e 6+2 Pin Connectors.
