Hi, I'm looking to upgrade a very old pc and I'm new to pc building. Hopefully you can help with my question.
The idea is to pair a pentium g4560 with a b250 board, but I'm unsure about my power supply. The current PSU is a 500W with a single +12V rail that has 8.5A. I'm worried because the amps seem to be really low. The power supply also has a 24-pin power connector and a 4-pin ATX for the cpu, and it's currently powering an ASRock AM2+ board with an AMD Sempron processor and an Nvidia GeForce 7300 se/7200 gs graphics card.
From what I've read online, the Pentium should work even with such low amps, but what if I added a GTX 1050 ti to the mix? (the card sips 75W from the mobo with no additional power cables needed)
Should I upgrade the PSU as well as the other components? Thanks in advance.
