[SOLVED] 430W PSU with i7-9700f & 1660

[Alexllte]

MSI's page of the GTX 1660 recommended the minimum wattage of 450, but I currently only have a CX430M on hand.
PCPartPicker shows that my estimated wattage is 310W, is it safe if I use the CX430M to power my PC?

i suggest getting a 1660 super, almost same price, much better performance.

As for your question, That psu's wattage and quality are just not enough for that system.
I suggest getting a new one.

I currently already own all the parts on hand...
I’ve been getting some conflicting replies from other PC builders, some say it’s safe but does not have much room for upgrade.

My question is, is this a useable (not upgradeable) and temporary setup before I grab a 500W PSU?

You should listen to @jonnyguru. He knows. He's a Corsair rep. Try a CX550 if you need a budget model.

Okay, I appreciate it.

I would say it is safe but not much room for upgrade, Since as long as you don't power virus it, the wattage is just barely enough.

The reason i say it's not safe, is because that is a very old, and not amazing psu to begin with.
I would be damned if it got 430watts regularly and could sustain it, or close to it.
