[SOLVED] Ryzen 5 2600 with R9 380 4GB?

[efentix]

Hello, i'm planning to upgrade to a Ryzen 5 2600 with 8 GB DDR4 RAM but i want to keep my old R9 380 4GB GPU. Will i face any significant bottleneck or it will be just fine at 1080p gaming? or should i spend more and get a new GPU at 150 Euros budget?
Using a 450W PSU.

The 2600 and 380 will work together just fine. Should offer decent 1080p performance.

What is the make and model of this 450w psu?

Thanks for the reply. Are you sure? I used an online bottleneck calculator and it calculated 100% bottleneck for this set up, lol. Also i used a power consumption calculator for my PSU with whole system and it came out good. My PSU is an old Thermaltake TR2 430W.

Dont trust that. All it means is the Ryzen 5 2600 can utilize a faster GPU if you upgrade on the future.

My PSU is an old Thermaltake TR2 430W.

Old and very very low quality. Needs replaced.

You might regret that decision later on if your PSU fails and takes your system with it, which is something we see too often here. But its up to you if you want to risk your hardware.

Its less than $35 for a higher quality Corsair with more wattage, which is a good deal right now.

This will save you a headache when
A) Your PSU fails and you have to buy a new PSU as well as other hardware, ending up more expensive than just buying a better PSU now.
B) You need to upgrade and have to replace the PSU anyhow.
