Ps: 16gb of ram is neccessary for me

I would recommend investing in a good power supply like to seasonic focus series

As for 144 hz I am not sure if that graphics card and hardware combo will be able to give you that performance you’re looking for but other graphics card experts will probably chime in

 

[DarkViking657]

I found an average of 120 to 130 fps on the combo and I have seen reviews about the psu I think its good enought

I just want a wroking one.

Rosewill make some nice equipment but not power supplies—only time will tell. Good luck with the build though

What build would you suggest?

Just a better quality psu. I think they keep a list of the top tier brands in the most reliable ones on this site

A seasonic focus gold 650 watt

A seasonic focus gold 650 watt

Thats literally 100 bucks....

Too expensive

What about an evga 500w br?

If you are just gonna browse the web and pay your bills yeah... that will suffice.

Other than that the Vega 56 has peaks of 350 watts. Thus making a 500 watter of ill-reputable quality a bad choice.

How about the Seasonic focus 550?

never cheap out on a powersupply its literally the beating heart of the system if its faulty it can cause damage to other components, EVGA G2 series i think are pretty good and on a cheaper side compared to the Seasonic focus plus series (which id recommend too personally).

I have seen psu wattage calcs and none said I need more than 500w also I will only game on it 2 times a week with like 6 hours per day of the 2

I know but I heard that the glacier is quite good so ye

 

[DarkViking657]

I dont want something high end modular super efficient I wan a normal psu that would power everything and could handle a 6 hours session

 

[DarkViking657]

Later on I might use the pc for like 5 hours a day for the whole week but ye I think 500w is definitley enough atleast thats what pc part picker is saying

I’ve heard that the AMD video cards are kind of power-hungry

Ye but there is no way its hungry enough to max out 500w I heard its possible to run an rtx 2080 with 500w

 

[DarkViking657]

What about thermaltake mwe 600w?

 

[j3ster]

vega 56 is quite a thirsty gpu tho. it can eat between 200-350w depending on use it would burn up a low quality psu tbh.

and its not just about the wattage its about the quality of the PSU too.

also AMD gpus tend to eat more power than Nvidia GPUs and an rtx 2080 on 500w is walking on thin ice tho unless you pair it with a low power cpu like a ryzen 2600 but its a maybe.

heres a recomendation

I'd go with either seasonic or coolermastermasterwatt 550. you could also power mod a vega56 for >200% power usage but with that cooler there's no change (and you'd need at least a 600w powersupply)

 

[BringerOfTea]

ohh the folly... heard.... someone told me... read up on your card of choice. 500 Watt is minimum requirement and combined with a shoddy PSU. A plenty of malfunctions can appear.

in the end of the day its your choice really, were just saving you from potential trouble by recommending you good quality PSUs that can pair with a thirsty GPU like the vega 56.
Corsair RM or Seasonic Focus gold are your best bet.


as for "good cheap" PSU well sadly your options are limited. EVGA G2/G3 maybe.
