Question 450W good for 3700X and rtx 2060?

[jakhmakc]

It says it in the title, whould that be a big enough PSU or should I buy a new one? The 450W PSU is the Corsair CXM 450.

Yes it will be enough, but remember the CX series are only average quality so if you intend to overclock it might be better to get something with more power and higher quality.

I have never overclocked before and dont plan to for this build so it should work out fine

If you could list the entire system specs that would be helpful.

Just wanted to make sure you didn't have tons of stuff drawing power in there. Looks ok, more power would be better but it should be fine. Cheers.

I would get a 550w , 450w is a tad light. The non modular is the better quality PSU.
