Do I need a new PSU?

[costintavi26]

Hello guys! I want to buy a GTX 1070 but i don't know if my PSU could handle it.
Pc specs: Ryzen 5 2400G
8GB 2400Mhz Dual-Channel
MSI B350M GAMING PRO
1TB HDD
And a Thermaltake Litepower 550W PSU.
Thank you!

In terms of wattage it's ok but in terms of quality it's likely not.
I'd get a new one just to be sure. Something like a +650w from Corsair, Seasonic, Superflower or any psu with either of the 2 latter ones as the OEM (like EVGA G2 series).

Probably an CX 2017 500W, seasonic g series s2 520W from budget option.

Evga g2-g3 are awsome quality psu's.

Guys

Surely the 550w is enough for a 1070?

It is, However the unit OP has is rather low quality which is the main issue here.

Ok, Finstar. Understood. Cheers

Yes, even 450w will fit well for OP's current system. 650w is pointless, it just adds price, usually louder, and more damage in a fault due to higher trip points.
550W is enough for CPU + GPU upgrade (e.g. OC Ryzen 7 + GTX 1080ti)
