Hello,
 
was just wondering if I would experience any problems pairing a 3060 with a Ryzen 3600 on a 550W GA power supply. I know people were having problems with these PSUs when running either a 3080 or 3090.

    EVGA Product Specs require/recommend a "600 Watt or greater power supply" for all cards in their RTX 3060 Ti lineup..Use the EVGA Power Meter or the more detailed OuterVision Power Supply Calculator (best) to estimate your particular PC's wattage need and see some recommended PSUs.

    I wouldn't trust it for very long..... but that's just me.
    Typically it is a good idea to keep a 25% overhead  of what you expect to need in total wattage.

    +1. As recommended above you need a beefier PSU.

    To be honest I run the 3600 and 3060 on a 550W Seasonic SII no problem.

    You CAN do it, but you have a greater chance of running into issues down the road as the PSU efficiency will slowly degrade over time and extended use. Better off using 600-650W.

    Ryzen 9 5900X @ 4.8
    32GB Corsair Vengeance 3600MHZ CL14 (14-16-16-32)
    EVGA 3080 FTW3
    ASUS Prime X570
    1TB Samsung 980 Pro m.2 (OS)
    4x 2TB Samsung 879 EVO
    2x 4TB WD Black
    ASUS ROG Strix 850W White PSU

    If you are not planning to do overclock, then it's alright. It has single rail 12 volt providing over 45 amp so I see no problem even with slight overclock.

    im pulling 530 watts with a 1080ti and 9900ks so 550w is probably not enough, i would look at 650w at least
