[SOLVED] is 350 watt enuf for my build ?

[Badidrox]

i have the following build
Ryzen 5 2400g
8gb ram
500gb hdd
AB350 mobo
Cooler master elite 350
i plan on adding a rx 570 to the build
the obvious prob is the psu , its enuf for the current build but it seems that it wont be enuf if i were to add the gpu , what do you think abt this ?
if no
how many watts do i need ?
and is wattage everything in a psu even if its a cheap 450w or 500w one ? or getting a more expensive branded psu better ?

It's fine until you add the 570 then it's definitely not enough.

A good 450w would be enough but if you're going to to be cheaping out go at Least 550

The PSU is the most important part of the PC, everything is plugged into it so if something happens and it goes bad they can take out the whole PC.

Cheaping out on a PSU is the worst thing you can do.


Get a high quality PSU as it will protect the parts as it should and run the system effectively for a long time.


Good quality 550W PSU's:

Seasonic Focus Plus
EVGA G2 or G3
Corsair RMX

It will run your build but I won't recommend you to get it as if you need to add a dedicated graphic card in future then you need to change it. I will suggest you to get a good 550w silver or gold certified PSU
