[SOLVED] Is my 400w psu enough for a gtx 1060 and an i5 4430

[shinys]

My power supply is a Cooler Master Elite Power 400w (rs-400-psar-i3).I know that this psu is not a good one but i don't really want to change my psu at this time.And I also have an SSD in my system.

Well you are under by abit.
Would be great if you have at least a 500W.

Is something going to happen if i run that system on my psu?

You will be underpowered. Might experience shut down randomly?

Yes I'd say a good 500-600 watt PSU would be good.

Cooler Master Elite Power 400w ...Is a piece of junk.

 

[GoldenLag]

wattage isnt the issue with that unit. its the quality and lack of quality and also probably protections. not to mention the fact that PSU most likely breaks ATX spec in multiple ways (edit: based on the placement in the PSU tierlist)

would suggest to look at swapping that as soon as possible

 

[shinys]

Can you suggest me a good quality budget psu that i can buy?

cx450, cx450m, system power 9, and many more options are good ones

you can link me anything if you need

Thank you

thats a pretty good unit, only downside is the number of PCIe power cables. iirc its only 1.

this is also a decent choice. and it has more than 1 PCie connector.

My sig has a link to a posting regarding good and not-so-good quality PSUs.

Admittedly, availability might be an issue in Bulgaria, so you might not be able to get some of the ones that we might recommend in the US, for example.
