[SOLVED] Is a 450W PSU enought for i5 and GTX 1660?

[Jhonan]

I'm looking to build a small/slim pc, and the case I have choosen (Fractal Design Node 202) can be bought with an included 450W PSU.
I wanna know if it can power an i5 (or a Ryzen 5) and a GTX 1660. One guy on newegg said he had done this with no problems (most other choosed a GTX 1070 and Ryzen 5, thought).

If it turns out I can't, how should I search for other slim PSU? Would be easier going with a less power hungry GPU/CPU?

450w would be bare minimum for the GTX 1660. You would have problems in the future as the PSU gets older and it loses performance. It would be better to get a larger power supply.

Less power hungry??

You're talking a sub 100w cpu & a 120-130 gpu.

Efficiency wise there's nothing that touches them on performance.

The integra 450sfx psu included with the node is absolutely fine for that combination, there's no issue here at all.

I had trouble finding the gpu wattage, thanks.
Im a bit reluctant since it calls for a 600W PSU in logicalincrements for those two, do you know why?
Thanks for the help.

Hey jhonan,
its quite confusing what a system needs however someone made a useful chart that we use on the forum: http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm

a good powersupply would be what matt sais else I like:

To sum it up for you, it doesnt matter if you get a 600w or a 450w psu, your system wont run better or longer from it.
