[SOLVED] PSU recommendation for MSI MEC OC RX 5700 XT

[Suuraj]

Hi,

I am buying MSI MECH OC RX 5700 XT Graphics card,

I have Corsair VS 550 power supply and APC Pro 1000 UPS,

is VS 550 sufficient for this graphics card?

if not, will my UPS support higher capacity PSU such as 650 or 850 watts?

Other Spces:
CPU: i5 6500
Motherboard: MSI Z170 A Pro
Ram 8 GB
SSD: 500 gb
Monitor: 21" LG IPS display 1920*1080 Resolution with AMD FreeSync
Colling Fans: 3 (120 MM) Non RGB

I am not planning to add any other componets to the system in near future.

Does your VS unit have orange VS lettering, or is the lettering all black on a gray banner?

Orange Lettering.

Not good. That's a VERY low quality unit. It's the older version of the VS and I'd highly recommend that you not use it with that graphics card.
