[SOLVED] Is a Corsair 500cx 80pBronze enough

[TheDeadQuacker]

Is a Corsair 500cx 80pBronze that has been used since 2016 enough for a GTX 1060 ZOTAC and an i7 4790 with a watercooler?

I had a gtx 950 but it died and ill be using that GPU as a placeholder until the new ones, so I'm in doubt if I already need to change de power supply or if I can wait until the series 3000

you have to check witch connector the gpu will need but with all parts in system you could be in limit of psu .

The old CX500 was a poor quality unit with a bad reputation that really should not be used in a gaming pc. Now add that’s it’s a fair few years old and psu’s deteriorate with age and usage I’d get a new psu before using that system again.

Are you sure it's a CX500? Because those were discontinued before 2016.

Yeah, I'm sure, it probably is because I bought my parts in 2015's november/december and since then have been using it.
