[SOLVED] Is my 350 watts psu enough for my build?

[gingfreaks]

I already have the PSU. It's deepcool DE500. It says it has a 350 watts total output and 500 watts peak. Is it enough for this build? Or do I need to buy a new one? If so... What wattage will be enough?

Ryzen 5 2600
Gigabyte b450m ds3h
16gb ram 3200mhz
Zotac gtx 1060 6gb
1 SSD
1 HDD
3 fans

Thank you to anyone who can help.

No. Peak power rating should not be considered

Get a decent 450 watt such as the Corsair CX450 or CX450m. But I would suggest atleast a decent 550-650 watt so if you want to upgrade to a better GPU down the line you can.

Stick to Tier B or C at the lowest. https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/psu-tier-list-psucultists.3624094/

Ok I'll get a better one. But do you think i can use the psu for the meantime on my PC for light usage while I wait for my order? Thank you

In terms of wattage you are cutting it close. I doubt that PSU is truly 350watts or even 500 peak. I wouldn't game on it but if you are just idling and doing general stuff you shouldnt pull many watts.
