180w PSU with i7 7700 and GTX 1050

[raytheking05]

Thinking about ordering a DELL prebuilt refurb desktop, but am concerned with the low wattage on the PSU. Would it be enough?

edit: http://store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/hp-pavilion-desktop---570-p065se is the PC
One of the reviews points out that the PSU wattage doesn't account for both power rails; What does that mean?

Maybe. It should be fine if it's not at full load, but you'll be cutting it close. Most GPU manufacturers recommend 300W power supplies with the GTX 1050.

I plan to use the rig for gaming, so I'm a bit worried haha

If that system can use a standard ATX power supply, just get one of these:

nVidia's minimum requirements are on their web site

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-gtx-1050/

Thermal and Power Specs:
97 = Maximum GPU Temperature (in C)
75 W = Graphics Card Power (W)
300 W = Recommended System Power (W)
None = Supplementary Power Connectors

75 for the card, 85 for the CPU, 30 for a low end MoBo, 35 watts for everything else = 225 watts

Minimum Recommended = 225 x 1.25 = say 300 watts
Safe recommended w/ OC = 225 x 1.50 = 350 watts

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX 1050 (Ti) - On your average system the card requires you to have a 300~350 Watts power supply unit.

If you are going to overclock your GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.

When ya can get a 9.7 jonnyguru rated PSU for $34, I can't see any reason to get anything less
