Question Will a 550W PSU be enough?

[Levkir]

So currently i have a Ryzen 7 1800x withh 16GB of RAM at 2667Mhz and an RX580 5 GB Nitro+ and a 550W Gold Corsair PSU. I want to upgrade to a Gigabyte EX5700XT and change nothing more. My question is will the PSU be enough for the system with the new GPU? Cuz i see that the recommended PSU is around 600W depending on the make of the cards. Thanks in advance!

Depends on which model of Corsair, if a VS, I'd pick another model.

Actually, just read that you have a gold model. Pretty sure the VS is a bronze model. If your PSU isn't too old, say more than 4 or 5 years, you should be fine.

it is a TS 550W and it is not even 2 years old and thanks for the fast reply

No problem! I'm thinking you mean TX but either way, you should be fine with that unit, it's a good one.
