What's the max power usage

[Datcheeta]

Does anybody know the max power consumption of G4560 and the RX 550 Pulse combined would 350w be enough if it's enough i was looking at Corsair VS350 any good?

I usually don't like recommending 350w PSUs as those are bare minimums and should only be use with light computing. You may want to take a look at the CX450M which is only $30. It isn't top quality, but it will last. Also, why get the 550? That's not going to do anything for you. Unless you are doing light gaming like CS:Go and something that doesn't take a lot of power. The G4560 is well enough to handle heavy games like GTA, Hitman, and the Witcher.

If you already have the 350w power supply, and it's a good quality unit, and it can provide most of the rated power on the 12v rail, it should be sufficient, assuming that the rest of what you have is a relatively basic system.

I'm running a G3220 (54W TDP) and R7 250E (55W TDP) - rest of system 1x4GB RAM, one HDD, one optical drive one massive CPU fan. My power supply is rated at 220W, and the 12V rail can provide up to 216W (18A on 12V rail). My system is cutting things close, but it's doing the job. If your system is similarly configured, 350W should be plenty.


If you don't already have a Power Supply, though, I'd go with Herc's suggestion.


EDIT: ah, yes, you specified the VS350. That does have 25A on the 12V rail, but, I notice from Corsair's website that it's a 200-240V unit. If you're in the US (or a few other countries), that's a no-go.
