[SOLVED] 500W PSU for RTX 3060ti and R5 3600?

[FrostyL2K]

Hey guys, I'm upgrading my GPU and I wanna know if I can get away with my 500w PSU without upgrading it. I'm planning to get a RTX 3060ti but I'd rather settle with a 3060 if my PSU can't handle it as I'm on a tight budget and PSU prices are high from where I'm from. I've done my research online and it seems on but I really wanna make sure so I'll list all my components below. Thanks in advance!!

I wouldn't even put a 3060 on such an old, group-regulated PSU. This is inappropriate for a modern build. It's not even really a 500W PSU in any sense with modern equipment.

That's some crap from Silverstone. Not recommanded for any system with dGPU. 230v only, outdated groupregulated design, low quality and missing essential protections (OCP, OTP)
