If you figure 450w is the peak maximum potential power consumption, then yes 600w PSU should be enough.

The "plus 80" only specify how much energy is wasted due to heat vs. power consumption and is not in itself a limiting factor (unless your PSU is of a fanless type).

That would be 80 Plus White.

Unless you're using very cheap components, having a cheap, group-regulated PSU that must now be like 15 years old is just begging for magic smoke.

Oh ok thank you i know that but i want to know how much watt space i have in my powersupply i mean its a 600w psu but it will not give you 600w i want to know how much watts i can use cause may be im gonna buy cpu cooler or something later

The one with RGB? https://www.rampage.com.tr/en/produ...0w-80-plus-bronze-12cm-rgb-fanli-power-supply Or this? https://www.everest-global.eu/en/pr...ronze-active-pfc-12cm-fan-gaming-power-supply It's still group regulated trash.

What's your CPU and GPU that you assume your sys consumes about 450w?

Yeah it like the first one without rgp and its 80+ bronze but why you say its trash i used same brand but 500w for 3 years and i upgraded my pc i bought 600w for the new cpu and gpu
My pc ryzen 5 5500 - 16 gb ram - rx5700xt and case fans
gpu conusmes about 190w and cpu 60w
psu not that bad but i want to know how much watts could i use cause i want to upgrade somethings

How do you know it's not that bad. Because your system has not caught fire yet?

With that specs you have to avoid group regulated units first.

I Understand thank you but the best brands is expensive in my country i paid about 50$ for my psu and if i want to buy better brand i should pay maybe 100$ ;/ anyway thank u for warning me im gonna upgrade my psu to something better but later cause it stills working well im gonna wait till i see fire xD

Yeah, you don't get good PSUs for $50. I understand that prices are worse where you are, but we can't even get a good PSU anywhere near $50 in the US, either.

The thing is, however, cheap GPUs are extraordinarily expensive. They can slowly damage your components over time just as easy as cause something more dramatic to happen. Just because nothing blows up doesn't mean damage isn't happening. And the cost of those damages can be a *lot* more than the difference between a good quality PSU and a cheap one. Quality PSUs now have seven year warranties at a minimum, so you're likely ahead in the game even if eveyrthing works fine!

It's like having a 10-egg omelet every day for breakfast. You can live a long time without any consequences. Some people who choose this odd breakfast will likely never notice anything bad happening and live out their lives happily. But many will not, and will have to face consequences far more severe than not getting to eat 10 eggs every morning.

Oh thank you verymuch brother i like the way how you explaining i apprexiate
First thing im gonna do buying good psu but i still dont know how much watts could i use in 600w or 700w psu how could i calculate it ?
Thank you again
 
I'd definitely want a 650W PSU at least of good quality with that GPU (no worse than Tier B on the tier list in the Power Supplies forum, though A would be better). 600W is probably fine too, but for some odd reason, quality PSUs tend to be in 550W and 650W, not 600W, a mystery I have not been able to figure out.

Possibly cheaper/more common components? I don't care enough to research in-depth because its largely irrelevant since you'd just get a 650w supply.

Anyway, my thought is capacitors, transistors, etc.. to achieve 600w might be more costly due to supply and demand as where mathematically (electrical) 550 and 650 are more viable and cost effective?

Just my initial hypothesis
