Can a 400-450w psu work a Ryzen 5 1600 and Nvidia 1030

[matthew.crossley.2003]

PCPartPicker says my build will only come to 190w (I will add 100w for safety and error margins).
Is pcpartpicker accurate?
Can I get away with 450w?

Planned Build:
CPU: Ryzen 5 1600
MOBO: MSI B350 Tomahawk
RAM: Crucial 8gb 2400 CL17 Dual Ranked
PSU: EVGA 550W B3
Case: Aero-500
Extra Fans: Cooler Master SickleFlow
SSD: ADATA SU800 M.2 256gb
HDD: I don't know. Old disk no label.
Other: Phanteks Halos RGB

Yeah, even 450W would easily be enough.

Yeah, just make sure you get a somewhat decent quality PSU. CX450M would be your best option.

However I would definitely get rid of the Ryzen 5 1600 in favor of R3 1200 and a better GPU, unless you plan on upgrading your GPU in the future.

I am sticking with the ryzen 5 as I will upgrade in the furute. My current GPU is just "temporary" for a few years until I get enough money for the NVIDIA 750ti. Also, will 450w psu be enough for the 750ti?

The GT 1030 and GTX 750 Ti are VERY close in performance and it would basically not be an upgrade at all. The real meaningful upgrades are to a 1050 Ti or to a 1060.

A GT 1030 also won't last you for a few years depending on the game. For gaming, the GPU is single handedly the most important part of the system, and that's where the majority of your money should be going. I would not get the R5 1600 unless you could also get at least a 1050 Ti. Either way, a decent 400-450W PSU will be good enough for any of the cards listed.

EDIT: It kinda depends on if you really need the cores or not, but for gaming I would take an R3 1200/GTX 1050/Ti over a R5 1600/GT1030 11 times out of 10. If gaming is more of a secondary thing and you'd rather do editing or other kinds of work, that opinion changes in favor of the R5 1600, but for gaming the CPU matters less and the R3 1200 is still a good CPU.

Yes, it fine for a 750Ti.

 

[TJ Hooker]

As said above, moving from a 1030 to a 750 Ti would be a sidegrade. A GT 1030 is only good for ~medium settings at 720p in today's games, let alone games a year or two from now. If you only care about being able to play games at all, regardless of settings, it should be ok. If you want to play at 1080p and/or with decent settings, you'll need something better.

I was going to go for the 4gb 750ti because I only want to do mid teir gaming such as gta5 (min spec is core 2 quad q6600). Gaming is most of what I do but I want those extra cores because my friend has the fx 8350 and I want to be thrashing him in gaming performance simply as a matter of pride.

The main reason I want to upgrade to the 750ti is because it has support for game dvr. I was so happy with the 1030 until it didn't do game dvr so...

Well, if you wanted to smash him in gaming performance, getting a better CPU isn't the way to go about it. As I said before, the GPU is the most important part of a gaming system. Getting a 1050ti or a 1060 with an Ryzen 3 1200 would smash his system if he had a worse GPU than you. Games use only 2-4 cores most of the time, and only very recent games are starting to use more than 4.

As for DVR, only some models of the GT1030 work for DVR. Any of the GTX 10xx series will have game DVR (1050 included).

A Ryzen 1200 would be as good or better than your friend's FX 8350. Core count isn't everything.
