This system here took me most of year to complete, but suddenly I had a wird experience. The monitor has an USB C hub build in. Windows 10 Pro suddenly came with an error, that said the USB port in my system which the webcam is connected to is underpowered. I disabled the monitors USB hub, and the error went away. PC-part picker claims that entire system shouldn't suck more that 458 W.

According to brochure the monitor takes 110 W power with USB hub engaged, and less without the hub enabled.

SO the big question here. Is my system for reason underpowered? Al components are brand new and bought from jan 2020 to juli 2020.

I think the PSU should have enough power if it's functioning correctly.
I'm thinking that might not be a Windows error....but possibly your webcam software error. It may be that because you are using a HUB in the display that the voltage drop is just too great for the camera. Try connecting the camera to a port on the PC itself and see what happens.

Good response, let me elaborate as well. Firstly the system you have i taking up avg 150w on idle and about 400w or so when you game. Your PSU is excellent. IMO you have no problems. The monitor is just not liking the fact your connecting that particular webcam into the monitor instead of behind the computer. It might be a crummy USB iteration. Plug it into a hub connected to your motherboard or straight to motherboard and problem is solved. You should still be able to connect some stuff on the monitor like wireless adapters and what not. Essentially the camera should work but apparently it is not playing nice with the monitors input so ya do as I said and your fine also great goign with the build, your set man.🎗🙈👍👶✝
