PSU requirement for new build

[chris4super_dawg]

Hey guys what's going on today! I just got done building my new ryzen 7 2700x with my x370 board and 8gb corsair ram with a 1050ti at 450w evga. I want to get a 1070ti instead of my old 1050ti but im really tight on money and want to know if the 450w evga Will be able to handle the 1070ti. If not can u guys recommend me some budget easy psus with corsair or a good brand. Thanks

Evga 450w 80+ b1 something like that with a b and a 1

That isn’t a good power supply - Group regulated and lacking protections.

For a demanding graphics card like GTX 1070ti you should at least have an independently regulated power supply.

If you’re in US I suggest an EVGA G3 or Seasonic Focus Plus for $70: https://pcpartpicker.com/qapi/parts/compare/by_id/?ids=69893,118236

Would the $40 600w psu on Amazon made by evga be enough?

If it's the EVGA 600B or W1 no. That's just as bad as your original option. The wattage isn't the issue here, it is the PSU quality. On the budget side there's the CX550, though I'd atleast aim for a Seasonic Focus for $60.

Is it ok if I use the 450w for a week on medium games? Till I get more money or is that a bad idea?

Those are still the same old group regulated design as the S12ii. To be avoided.

OP you can use it for a week with that PSU. Just know that long term usage with that PSU will not be good for your components, decreasing their lifespan.
