I'm planning to use the i5-11400F and the RX 6650XT. I believe I won't need any extreme overclocking. I'm considering Corsair CV or CX 650W, wondering if they suit my setup. Thanks!

these power supplies aren't sufficient in the long term.
if you prefer Corsair, consider the RMx
adata core reactor, phanteks AMP, asus strix or MSI A GF are also reliable options.
purchase a minimum of 750w to allow space for future upgrades.

The CX 650 should function adequately. I might opt for better quality, but it should still work.

It seems you're asking about the Be Quiet Pure Power 11, but the text provided doesn't contain relevant details. Could you clarify or provide more information?

try to stay quiet 12 M - not the top choice but at least it works
atx 3.0 with a 16-pin connector, suitable for new nvidia graphics cards.

I noticed the Seasonic G12 GC 650W is likely a B tier PSU, or I might have found the Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 650W at a reasonable cost.

Based on the games you enjoy, the i5-11400F could easily support a more powerful graphics card than the 6650XT. To accommodate future upgrades, consider purchasing a power supply with higher capacity than 650w. The extra expense for increasing power levels is minimal. A power supply only consumes the power it needs, not its maximum potential. Here’s a useful PSU sizing guide from RealHardTechX:

Quality is another factor. While tier lists are helpful, they’re just opinions. For a non-expert, checking the warranty is a good way to gauge quality. A unit with a 7-year or longer warranty tends to be reliable. For instance, the Corsair RMx 650w costs $105 and comes with a 10-year warranty.

750w models start at $120, and 850w models are around $150. The same trend applies to Seasonic Focus options.

The Thermaltake ToughPower GF1 650W comes with a 10-year warranty, which is quite solid.
