Question Is 450W psu ok for a RTX 3060?

[Distt]

Hey

I've been looking to upgrade to a 3060 from my 1060.

Currently, I'm pretty sure my PC at full load uses around 310W on a 450W psu. If I upgraded to a 3060, would I be fine?

Thanks

Post the entirety of the parts in your build, especially the make/model of PSU.

Sidenote: Sorry, my psu is actually 430W. For some reason I had it in my head that it was 450.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
PSU: Corsair CX430
Motherboard: PRIME B450M-A II
RAM: OLOy 16GB DDR4 3200MHz

How old is that PSU? I would feel safer using at least a newer 500W PSU.

It's the same PSU I originally started this PC with in December 2015, unless I somehow forgot upgrading it at some point

PSU: Corsair CX430

A groupregulated PSU is a no go with recent hardware. And with 384w @12v a CX430 is not even a 400w PSU. Replace it!

So what kinda wattage you think I should be aiming for?

Think what max budget you have and where do you buy are more relevant.
