350w psu, is it enough?

[willster491]

For an amd ryzen 3 1200 and a nvidia gtx 1050 ti 4gb is a 350w psu enough to keep the pc running and play games at high settings without having problems like crashing?

Yes 350W is enough, but do know that just because it says 350W Max doesn't mean you can use 350W with your main components. The specifics of the power supply are very important when considering total system power requirements.

So, the bigger question is what exact power supply are you referring to here?

Its the thermaltake psu if that helps

It would help if you told us the exact model of the power supply.

If it's the Thermaltake Purepower 350W I would recommend upgrading to a better quality PSU beacause it only has 240W of available power to main components. If it's the Litepower 350W it should be okay, but they are both low quality units.

i found the exact model of the psu it is the THERMALTAKE PSU 350W LITEPOWER [LTP-350AL2NK]

Looking at the specs on that power supply, it has 26A on the +12V rail which gives you 312W of available power to your main components. There is no PCIe power connector.

I'll put it like this: It will work for a GTX 1050 Ti that doesn't require an extra power connector, but it's a low quality unit. I would recommend upgrading to a better quality power supply like the one below.

Power Supply: Corsair - CX (2017) 450W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($43.88 @ OutletPC)
