Hello guys . I just ordered this system and some people tell me that 450watts is not enough and I am a little scared now

Ryzen 2600
Asrock b450 fatality
WD Blue SSD 1tb
Asus 1650 OC DUAL 4gb
G.Skill Aegis 2x8gb 3000mhz
Corsair CX450m

You think it will be ok?

450w is fine for that setup, however don't go extreme overclocking anytime soon, in the future if your going to upgrade, i'd HIGHLY recommend you get a proper high quality psu, as the most important part in a pc is the PSU.

Here's the PSU tier list, it's pretty self explanatory, use this to judge what psu you'll get next in the future,

Also, CX series isn't the best, so keep an eye on your psu's voltages either on your motherboard bios, or via HWinfo (look it up if you don't know how)

Good luck man!
