The system will use about 350w at load. In theory, a 450w one should be fine. However, not all PSUs are equal, and a low end one might not actually be good enough. What is the manufacturer and model of your PSU, and does it have 6/8pin connectors for the GPU?

Right, I forgot about PSU model... It's XFX Core PRO 450W (P1-450S-X2B9). I think it should be good but anyway better to ask

And yes, it have 8-pin connector.

It should be alright. If it is getting old (5+ years) you should look into upgrading it to a new 550w. However, for the moment, that one will be alright to power the RX 470, with no need to upgrade just yet.

It's pretty new, like 8 months old so will be good.
Thanks for the answer.
