PC Build, doubts about PSU.

[Adrian Potocki]

Hi guys, I have selected a list of hardware which i want to use to build a PC for a friend, but I have doubts about the PSU which I already have bought a few years ago and left it unused, because my gtx 970 required more power than the PSU could provide.

HW list:

CPU:
AMD Ryzen 5 2600X

GPU:
Asus Geforce STRIX-GTX1050TI-O4G

RAM:
HyperX Fury (2x8GB) 2400MHz DDR4

MOBO:
ASRock 90-MXB8F0-A0UAYZ

PSU:
EVGA 500 W1, 80+ WHITE 500W
power index on PSU: https://images.evga.com/products/gallery/100-W1-0500-KR_XL_6.jpg

PRIMARY STORAGE (FOR OS):
Kingston SA400S37/240GB SSD

SECONDARY STORAGE:
WesternDigital 1TB (WD10EZEX)

Thanks for the help.

I think phe PSU power is enough, but wait for other opinion.

It's not a high end PSU by any means, however a Ryzen 2600x and a gtx 1050ti isn't going to tax the power supply at all. You'll be fine.
If you google power supply calculators you'll find that under peak full load your not going to be taxing more than 50% of that PSU's capability.

So you're actually telling me that it will be able to run on 100% of it's capabilities?

I wouldn't use THAT PSU, quality isn't really good.

Easily. Go ahead and plug your components into this power supply calculator:

I'd be very surprised if power drawn from the wall hits 300w.

Done, wattage load is 320W.

The site is suggesting me to buy this PSU:

Do what you think is right. I think you'll be fine. If all you're doing is gaming your never going to hit 300w because both your cpu and gpu will never be at constant full load at the same time. Times have changed and people don't realize how power efficient components have become.

Just get a Corsair CX450 or CX550 and it will be fine, much better than the last two mentioned.

 

[Captaingadget]

Yeah, that PSU is poor quality, get a Corsair CX550. Also you've got a good processor in the 2600x, but Ryzen really benefits from fast RAM so if you can, get 3000Mhz at least.

 

[madmatt30]

That b600 the coolermaster calculator recommended is actually worse than the evga you already own!

I wouldnt recommend buying the evga w series psu but if you already own it & budget is very tight it will do the job ok.

 

[yogeshbombay88]

I think go for Asus/msi b450/x370/x470 motherboard.
Much nicer with these config

 

[ameyer75]

As far as rating it goes, it depends on what you're using the system for. If it's a budget build for low-medium end gaming, then sure, this would be like.... 8 or 9 out of 10. If you're going to be doing anything high end like streaming or video editing, I'd definitely make some changes.

The psu should be fine, although it is a misbalanced build. Both your CPU and ram are much more powerful than your gpu creating a gpu bottleneck.

Avoid the 80+white PSUs they throw 20% of the energy taken from the wall, and overheat the PC components, take a PSU 80+gold that only throw 10% and in a year, or less if you live in Italy, you have repaid the initial cost

from italian Amazon:

a well reviewed Corsair-TX550M 80€

or

less expensive 650W 80+Gold

the price difference between the Ryzen 2600X and the Ryzen 2600 is not confirmed by the minimum performance difference, I would definitely go for the second one and save it in a PSU 80+Gold

Hey man if you don't want that power supply, can I have it?

The psu should be fine, although it is a misbalanced build. Both your CPU and ram are much more powerful than your gpu creating a gpu bottleneck.

That I already know, but by having a decent CPU as the ryzen 5 2600x it is only natural that the gpu could be upgraded in the future, so which AMD CPU would be good for the mobo which I listed in the thread and the gtx1050ti?.

EDIT:
The bottleneck which you are talking about, it will be like the GPU will be able to go on full load but not the CPU, but when you think of programs which use a lot the CPU, it will only be a good thing to get the 2600x.

If you want me to sell it to you, then I could think about it.

You're absolutely right ,stick with the ryzen 2600 or 2600x - If the 2600 is substantially cheaper than the 2600x then I woudl consider it instead,you get a slightly worse cooler but paired with a 1050ti its going to perform exactly the same & can be overclocked to 2600x levels anyway.

If the 2600x is more than $30 more expensive than the 2600 then Id probably stick with the 2600.

No thanks, but if it's going to sit around and collect dust i'll take of off your hands. There's nothing wrong with it.
