Specs
Ryzen 5 2400g

Gigabyte aorus elite b450

1TB HDD

8gb Ram DDR4 3000mhz Corsair

Please click the link above and let me know if that power supply is enough to power the above config

I will be adding 1060 to it so I know it’s not compatible with that psu so for now leave 1060 and let me know if that psu is enough ?....btw how much watt is it ....it came with the cabinet and I’m in for a massive upgrade so was thinking till I have some dollars can I use that psu

It is advertised as a 400w PSU but can't deliver even half of that where it counts as it's only rated for 14a(168w) on the 12v rail(most important rail). Plus Circle quality is garbage. Skimping on the PSU quality is never a good idea. In all honesty that PSU belongs in a recycle bin.

 

[ChumP]

Firstly, it's a really low quality power supply(junk). Spec sheet says it's a "400W" unit, but judging by the power output on the 12V is a really old design.
With an output of 168W (maybe less since it's crappy) on the 12V rail I wouldn't recommend running anything on it.
You could potentially use it(light workloads) until you buy your new GPU.
Don't even think using it with the 1060 please.

Hi,

You have Circle 400 Watts Powersupply unit.(From the picture u linked above)

You need atleast 550watts psu for running 1060 smoothly.I would prefer you get a corsair 550w or 650w.

In longer run and for long life of components and a good warranty try to get PSU with 80+Gold certification

https://www.primeabgb.com/buy-online-price-india/power-supplies-smps/

Have a look at this PSU: https://www.primeabgb.com/online-price-reviews-india/antec-ea550g-pro-550w-80-plus-gold-certification-semi-modular-psu/

550 Watts is minimum you require to run a gtx1060 smoothly without any crash and at 100%.650 Watts is a bit too much.

Try : https://www.primeabgb.com/online-price-reviews-india/antec-ea550g-pro-550w-80-plus-gold-certification-semi-modular-psu/

Its only 5.5k INR and offers 80+gold certification and 3 years warranty.

Dont even think to run gtx1060 on it otherwise u will risk your pc components.

Thank you,
Ishaan

That is a PSU that should never have been built in the first place. It is one of those super cheap POS out there than can quite literally burn your house down. The quality is so low that electrical fires are not that uncommon with these. Plus 1 year warranty...no self respecting PSU company would ever give their product such a short warranty. If you have the money for it get a Seasonic Focus Gold 550W or Focus+ Gold 550W PSU.

I just purchased everything stated in the specs but I thought that it’s 400w and didn’t buy a psu I literally have no cash on me for at least few months I have used up my savings so can I at least run it play on apu till I can buy a good one don’t worry about 1060 I haven’t purchased it yet so technically don’t consider it

 

[ChumP]

As I said earlier, it might work with only the APU since you'll be looking at a total power consumption of around 100W max(in gaming). If the power supply fails though... it might take other components with it. So please save up and buy a decent quality unit.

More info on the Raven Ridge power consumption here

Please do me a favor and change it as fast as you can.

Most systems with a GTX 1060 will easily work with a good quality 400w(what Nvidia has posted as the minimum reccomened PSU size) PSU. Not sure where you got a 550w minimum but it is incorrect
Even the aftermarket factory OC'd cards don't need that much.

The Gold certification is NOT a measure of build quality or life expectancy, it is only a measure of power effciency. There are gold rated PSUs that are garbage.

The Corsair VS series(while better than anything Circle) is not a reliable PSU.

I just want to use the stuff I purchased....I will definitely replace it and throw that crap in the dustbin

That PSU is a potential danger to the other components at anyload.

Not just the other components but his/her home as well.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Dhruvsharma051999 : "is this correct ?"

so im building a pc it has
1. ryzen 5 1600
2. b350 gaming plus
3. corsair 8gb stick 3000 mhz


i know im using single channel stick.... can i later buy another 8 gigs and make it dual channel or do i have to buy pairs of ram cause they are crap expensive 🙁((

Purchase a 2x4gb kit, then get another kit when you're ready to populate the other two dim slots. This option will give you dual channel now and still allow for an upgrade, unless you can fork over the extra cash for a 2x8gb kit now. You're going to quickly find out that 8gb isn't enough or this will happen in the near future anyways, so you might as well fork over the extra cash for the 16gb kit.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Dhruvsharma051999 : "Recommend me a good config in my budget"

So my budget is around 530$

I wanna build a pc in this price the things i want are :
Cpu - 2200g
Motherboard - any works for me (you decide)
Ram - 8gigs for now (again u decide the speed but i wanna go with single channel cause dual channel is like double price )
GPU - 1060 3gb

I just want these 4 things rest im going to use my old pc's SSD hdd and case
It should not go beyond 530$ cause every penny counts

2x4gb = 8 and you get dual core bonus (3200 ideally)
B450 = decent motherboard, stay away from A series they seriously lack bonuses, like overclocking.
That should sort you out.

Actually, you can get Ryzen 5 2600 within that budget. 6 cores and 12 threads It has no iGPU, but you don't need one after all.

No case, no drives. What about PSU? Do you need a new one?

I know that you want the GTX 1060 3GB, however, that card isn't future proof at all. There are already a ton of games that will use almost 4GB or video ram. If you were to exercise the idea of using a Radeon, you could have the RX580 which trades blows with the GTX 1060 6GB, inside your budget. For reference the 1060 3GB is about equal to the RX470 and the RX580 is a good 10-15% faster than the RX470.
