AMD Velocity - Ryzen 5 5600X - B550m - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 4060 8GB Gaming System

Not necessary at all.

Gold means that the heat conversion at the power is better, so wont cost as much on the grid.
gold typical means its a better standard made PSU in part wise for it, but doesnt also mean every gold is better then bronze too.

in respect of bronze what are by budget brands, if they are a high wattage stated, ignore it.

so what i do is recalc and remove 15% of the total watts, so budget 700W = 595w

ideal u want to be running a psu at about a 60% max load, so on that. 357w.

which is around the figure of 5600X LOW TDB Past gen AM4 featuring a 4070, so u still got room for upgrading past this as a 4060 be around the 270w mark.

but if u go for the gold ones, there heat exchange but will take alot of time to save money on the grid to repay it self, and if nvidia reco that the gpu uses 700W then its suited for that line of GPU upgrade laters cos it will have a atleast better quality to begin,, and if its like the BQ version which high standard gold, which is a 850w u can run them past nvidia guides which is something i said about palicomp TX 550W

550W Gold - high quality is 70% load at 385W
700W Bronze - low quality is 55% load at 385W

more confident on the high quality gold, and this is why i do PSU different than many other folks.

"cut the bull" is what i call it, 15% instantly off because ur garbage at what u advertise at, = 595, now
= 65% load. i wouldnt touch it.

where at 60% is 350 as i said 5600x/4070 spec, nvidia guidelines of 600W but obvious thats spec that non upgradable past it.

this is why budget psu get hard time from reviews, because reviews will push them (rightfully so) but also they base it on there "advertisement" again rightfully so.

so easiest fig in mind, if its budget 700W, count it as on nvidia guidelines as 600W, u can upgrade the gpu later with respect of next gen upto 600Ws but if u want to go past that, get a better psu.

4060 lot lower, if that a step gap, in respect of what area, some may consider going 4060 and then 5060 6060 lines, there traits is always next gen budget cards, or will they obtain a old at time used card which then ur gonna need a better psu for them, as well any higher new card 600w base.

more importantly if ur going past gen on the cpu wise, buy what u need, and then sell the whole system is a good idea, as ur next system u prob want to change everything to.

"common sentance lots say to me: going to sell my old systems and restart but im taking the psu with me and using the other in the old machine" so they can resell, great for them now. but there is a part of me what thinks; that was a sitting duck for investment... (edited)

New generation R5.
-which means DDR5 16GB to start.

but at the starting price its RTX 3060 vs 4060 (another debate, i can start this 5600X on the RTX3060 at a lower price then the 4060... ) by going via another link if u want.

without going into the GPU yet.

£700 system u mention with the RTX 4060 is £760.00 vs £670.01 here.

so a gap of £90.00 so u got a boost into DDR5 £20, 7600 over 5600x £70
Board is £20 but this starts with 1TB and thats 480GB and that should be £20/23 ish difference.

so price wise, were talking the same buck end, this has B550 Standards that is A620 standard which do improve both are X16 4.0 lanes so both nice for GPU like 4060

but in respect of ur QS, u could not spend £60 for the 4060 over the 3060 and put more buck into that newer cpu ddr5 element.

as i say on all my post, plenty of 3060 vs 4060 in regards to its performance, 5600x vs 7600 is another great search term so u can check that out, A620 vs B650 so u can see what that offers.

5700X is still a very lovely CPU, if ur a user who will use the cores, £30 boost, if ur doing dev work.

however on the gaming front the 7600 as long as ur happy with A620

A620 boards are the lowest, that is ay low A620, the higher one is the tuf version that is great for upgrades, but the default one is very suitable for the Ryzen 7600, but i would leave that cpu/mb combo as that.

when it comes to upgrading; sell both together, works a trick.

for that higher budget i do have another link to consider; 5700X/700W/2TB comes in at more cost, windows forced in but calc free, more storage and boost on GPU, but keeping it to last gen on the cpu. (edited)
