Psu 550/600 for gaming

[fmalexandru03]

I have 2 questions:
1. Will an AMD Ryzen 5 1600x will bottlleneck a GTX 1060 6gb x msi
2. If not, will a 550w 90+ gold PSU will be enough for oc CPU? Or should i take a 600w 80/85+ bronze PSU?

Definitely No. Ryzen 5 1600x is enough.

450W gold is enough for this combination except if in the future you want to put a second GPU.

550W gold is perfect. Never choose a worse PSU of higher wattage.

1. No at 1080P/1440P.
2. A good quality 550W unit is plenty for overclocking both the CPU & GPU. Also efficiency doesn't necessarily mean it's a good quality unit, check professional reviews.

So that 550w psu is enough for that cpu, gpu, 16gb ram 2666mhz, 5 coolers on case and a cooler master 212 hyper turbo(cpu cooler with 2 coolers on it)? And it will still work if i will put a gtx 1070?

What is the exact model of the 550W unit?

So yea that's a good quality unit and yes it would handle the upgrade to a 1070.
