Depends on what you need. What’s your setup like?

I have an NVIDIA 3060 Ti and a Z790 motherboard. I also need both an 8-pin and a 4-pin EPS connector.

You’ll probably want at least a 650W or 750W PSU, preferably 80 Plus Gold-rated for efficiency.

Yeah, I was thinking Gold-rated too. Any specific brands you trust?

Seasonic, Corsair, and EVGA are solid choices. If you're on a budget, Cooler Master and Thermaltake also have decent options.

Nice. Do you think modular is worth it?

Absolutely. Full modular is the best for cable management, but semi-modular can work fine too if you don’t mind some pre-attached cables.
