I have a pc with R3 2200g, Vengence 8gb(3000), 5.2k rpm hdd, 250gb ssd
Running on Corsair VS450 power supply.
Now(5 monthes after building this pc), I am thinking to add on a graphics card.
I am thinking to buy RX570 8gb but I am worried abou its power requirements.

Can Corsair VS 450 run it with 2200G(65w tdp), 1×120mm fan, 5.2k rpm hdd, A320 motherboard, or if it bottlenecks rx570, how much will it bottleneck..
Another reason for choosing this perticular graphics card is because my monitor supports Free Sync(with 75hz refresgh rate).
I am also not in budget to purchase a better power supply along with the graphics card.

So please tell, Should I buy RX570 or should I buy Gtx 1650 (in India, both very similar price point, RX 570 being $30, 2000rs costlier)

Will $85(Rs6000) more(new power supply with extra price of RX570) be justified over $175(Rs1200) Gtx 1650

So please help me choose one of the following three:
  1. RX 570 with VS450(current psu) - total cost $200
  2. RX 570 with VS550(to be installed if advised by stretching my budget) - total cost $260
3.Gtx 1650-$175

I would get the RX 570. Your current PSU is completely capable of powering everything. Unless you are using this PC as a workstation for rendering and streaming, you shouldn't run into any problems. Even then, a max load like that would still only probably hit around 400-425. Gaming though wouldn't be an issue at all since gaming does not draw an insane amount of power from CPU and the like. The reason I suggest the 570 over the 1650 is because it is a better card in terms of performance and from the way it sounds you already have the budget to get the card anyways. An easy way to calculate PSU wattage is to head to the link below and input all of your criteria and it will give the avg wattage. Let me know on what you decide. :)

Whoa! Get a new gpu AFTER you replace that psu!
Corsair's VS line is cheap junk. You risk killing your entire system with that thing.
Corsair CXM450/550, TXM, or RMX are better quality.
I would've said Seasonic, but I'm pretty sure it's pretty pricey over there.
