[SOLVED] Will 400 watts handle gtx 1060 6gb fx 8350

[paulconna.brown]

RAM: 16gb
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 Motherboard
Power Supply: Xilence 400W 80+ with 6 pin PCI-E cable

Very poor power supply and a very poor board for the 8350.

FX 8350 will bottleneck that GPU. As blackbird said too, that PSU isn't great. If you can afford it, buying a good b350 board and a ryzen will make your gaming experience a lot better.

Considering the official NVIDIA site already suggests 400W as base that's not a good point to start:

Also check PSU Calc to get a better glimpse on what you need:

Always try to go around 100W above what the PSU Calc suggests to you.

No that CPU won't bottleneck that GPU. At least not at default clock speeds

Problem isn't the CPU and GPU pairing but the 8350 with that garbage board, and the whole thing paired with that garbage PSU.

This whole thing is going to be unstable gaming, its going to crash while you game, and not perform properly. If you don't own any of this I suggest not buying it. If you do you need to rethink what you're going to use.

I thought the 1060 needs an 8 pin(?)
