[SOLVED] PSU recommendation for an RX 6500 XT ?

[ramseyothniel]

Hello Tom's Hardware! I hope you guys are doing great 😆

Recently I upgraded my GPU from RX 570 4GB to an RX 6500 XT 4GB, with same i3-9100f CPU and 2 sticks of 8GB DDR4 (2666Mhz).
For storage I have one 126GB SSD and one 256GB SSD. I would like to know the recommended PSU, my budget is very low which is 50$ under or around 750.000 IDR. Any suggestions?

Thank you

Looking if you can up the budget with this one,
https://shopee.co.id/ASUS-TUF-GAMING-550B-PSU-550WATT-80-BRONZE-POWER-SUPPLY-ASUS-i.425556998.10495680749?sp_atk=4f54f4a8-8a39-4a63-85bf-8a65f30ea3d5&xptdk=4f54f4a8-8a39-4a63-85bf-8a65f30ea3d5
is a tier (B) above the next and imo worth it.

That next one, two prices, don't know if you are shop dependent,

What is your current psu? =maker+model+wattage.

What is your current psu? =maker+model+wattage.

Current PSU is Antec Atom V550 (non certified 80 plus and non modular)

What shop do you buy from? Have to say that you don't have much of a budget so cannot be sure we find something better for you.

 

[ramseyothniel]

I may shop at shopee.co.id, I could add more budget like until 70 $. At least the PSU has protections and performs better than the current.

Really thankful for these recommendations! It helps me narrowing down the options, I might go for ASUS TUF one, since it is a PSU we are talking. Hope a great day for you sir!

The TUF would be worth it.

And you're welcome.

Not sure how to break it to you, but the 6500xt wasn't an upgrade, for you, as you are still on PCI-E gen 3. I do agree on the above PSU recommendation.

Oh yeah! About the PCIe 4.0, I might replace it later since it doesn't encourage the RX 6500 XT. At least I got a running GPU in the meantime. Thanks for your response!

No problem, just wanted you to be aware. Definitely want to get onto a gen 4 capable platform, when you can. All 11th gen and newer Intel support it, as does Zen 2 or newer, provided you use right motherboard chipset.
