[SOLVED] psu upgrade?

[namirai]

will an corsair cx550 be enough for an upgrade from a rx570 4gb to a rx vega 56? (paired with a ryzen 5 2600x)
i will be running everything on stock settings

Yes it's enough power and has the 2 PCIE connections to run the card. Keep it all stock.

Here's some specs on both cards that lists the TDP of each (if you have a specific make/model it may be a bit different):

Vega56 recommended size is 600w, but I'd trust the CX550 far more than most 600w psus.

At maximum output of all components, you'll be hard pressed to exceed @ 400w total for the entire pc, which can't happen as it's about impossible to punish every single component, ram, fan, drive to 100% use load simultaneously. At best, you'd be looking at closer to 70% of that 400w, or closer to 350w with heavy gaming.

Which is why Dark Lord advised you keep the pc at stock as OC can easily add 100w or more and factory boosts in Ryzen cpus are already pretty close to cpu limits as is.
