[SOLVED] I got a i3 2120 3.3ghz processor and zotak gt1030 2gb ddr5 gpu and a 300W psu. Is playing gta v for long time in this setup bad?

Solution
228w on the +12v rail.
I3-2120(65w) + GT 1030(30w) + another 10-20 headroom for everything else = 115w.

@sizzling is ok to correct me on this, but I'd say you're in an ok spot. Psu's from prebuilts aren't great, but you can still use that with the current setup you have.
Although, the moment you want to get something like a GTX 1050, or a 1650, the psu will have to go first.
If temperatures are ok then the only potential risk is the psu. As above what make and model is it. Low quality psu’s not only are more prone to failing and causing damage but can also shorten the lifespan of other pc components even if the psu appears to work ok.
