Hey guys so basically I’m building my first system and I don’t know what psu to get Newegg psu calculator says 290 watts. Is that accurate? My build is a asrock b450m pro4 AMD r9 270 2gb 2x 4gb ddr4 Atech wraith stealth cooler (the free one that comes whith ryzen CPU’s) 1 120mm case fan and 1 120mm exhaust fan and also would it be dangerous to get a 80+ bronze psu?
I never seen any PSU calculator be accurate. Most of them overestimate or are just wrong about what is needed to compensate for you buying a pile of crap power supply.
Edit so far you have a 150 watt video card listed but it could be 20 watts or so more depending on the model can figure about 80 more watts for everything else (drives, motherboard, fans, USB devices...
