[SOLVED] Should i change my psu for 1660 ti/Vega 56?

[radwuw]

My System:
CPU - Ryzen 5 1600x, GPU - 1050 ti 4gb compact, RAM - Corsair 2x8gb 3000mhz, Motherboard - Gigabyte ga-ab320m-s2h, 2 monitors
PSU - nJoy Ayrus 500w, i can not find this psu in any other country than mine which is romania, so here is the manufacturers website ( https://www.njoy.ro/PSU/ayrus500 )
Hello again, so i want to upgrade my gpu to either the vega 56 or 1660 ti, i will wait until black friday to see if the prices drop and if there will be new ones in stock because in my country the vega 56 is out of stock. I do not think my current psu is enough and other forums claim it is a bad psu, i searched on multiple forums and a lot of people recommend corsair cx series or evga so i found this psu: https://www.corsair.com/us/en/Categ...Supply-Units/cx-series-config/p/CP-9020122-NA . I picked this one bacause it has enough wattage based on psu wattage calculators. 1. Is it any good, or is there a cheaper alternative to this one (Maybe thermaltake)? I need to know if this is good or what other psu's i could buy as this one is not really that cheap. 2. And i would also like to know which one of those graphics cards is really better? I mostly play games on this pc and browse the internet.

Well, what I would say is that PSU you have is likely a junker. I don't mean any disrespect saying that. The reason is there are no review, and it's only available locally.

It's very possible it doesn't even provide 500w actual power, and is made with really cheap components. It's peak power output is 500w for just 60seconds. It's 12v rail output is only 370w.
It's a ticking time bomb in your machine, and will most likely fail soon, if it's not already causing you issues.

I would most certainly recommend you get a decent PSU to power your system, so you do't potentially fry some components, or worse, set something on fire.

Something like this:
