EVGA couldn't offer warranties this long and stay in business if these failed frequently. So you know these are well built. If it lasts for 10 years and fails at 10 years and a day, your cost is still only $5.50 per year. You really can't lose with one of these.
There are many cheap 30 to 40 dollar range PSUs being sold that are poorly made, that have very short warranties. They can't supply the wattage stated on the label. The soldering and wiring are low quality, not good features for a PSU that may be running 24/7 and supplying power to your expensive CPU and GPU.
Spend a little more and you won't have to worry about frying your motherboard or other components.
550W is powerful enough for an RX6600 (XT) graphics card. Get more wattage (750+) for more power hungry AMD cards like the RX 6800 line.
There is also a 650W version of this (SuperNova) on sale as well.
