I have 550w psu to my pc.
My cpu is ryzen 5600g
16 gb ram
2 nvme ssd .
So can my current psu handle arc b580?
 
It can but not advisable. Whats the expected price of b580 in bangladesh?
38000taka ~ 318 dollars or more
Rtx 4060 44500taka ~ 373 dollars or more
I am rocking my ryzen5600g for a year now
I'm a student. With part time job I have collected money for b580 . Will my psu burn 🔥?
 
Lol, no actually the pc will shut down . But if u have a reputable brand psu. The psu model u have right now is one of the worst as far as I know, there have been reports of blow ups and fire with that model. Even deepcool is better than that trash.

Deepcool DA700 700W 80 PLUS Bronze Power Supply
Is this psu good ?
 
Remember the PSU is the life blood of your PC a budget is a budget but not at the price of other components that may have issues with by cheaping out on a PSU ..

If it means waiting a little longer and saving a little extra for quality parts its a better outcome in the end !!

I'm also from BD. You definitely need to upgrade your PSU.
I would recommend to sell the current PSU and get a CX650. I know it can be a bit costly but much better to have a non working system.
For B580 I would recommend anyone to use at least 650W. As I'm also looking towards to buy the card or something with more power and get rid of my 1660S.

What is your cpu ?
 
Hi, im using msi mag a550bn, do you think this psu enought for arc b580
Personally wouldn't the capacitors aren't great quality the secondary side which filters the power to components is quite weak using elite capacitors and another brand I know is low quality primary side is mainly capxon which isn't great either. There not gaming PSU. While great wall makes it which is a good manufacturer MSI have chosen cheap components.

These are the specs of my PC:

Intel Core i5-11600K Processor
GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS PRO AX
Thermalright PeerlessAssassin120 SEARGB
XPG 1TB GAMMIX S70 Blade
Thermaltake Toughpower GF3 850W fully modular
Kingston FURY Renegade 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600MHz CL16

My case is Corsair iCue 465X
My monitor is MSI Pro MP273a - 1080p, 100Hz max.

I was planning on getting a Speedster QICK 319 at CAD 430 (USD 300) from my friend in Canada.

I recently heard about the Intel Arc B580 going for CAD 360 (USD 250). Both have the same VRAM and similar performance. I have heard Intel Arc B580 has better ray tracing performance than the RX 6750 XT.

Can you guys recommend which one is better?
