Question Will my PSU do the job ?

[kazzooo]

Hi everyone

I've gone through some different wattage calculators and I don't get a completely accurate result but it looks like I should be okay. Just want to get people's thoughts.

Psu is a a Corsair hx520w several years old.

CPU: 5950x
MB: Asus strix b550e
GFX: ASUS 760 GTX direct cu ii oc
RAM: 2x16gb and 2x4gb
1 SSD, 3HHD, 1 DVD-RW drive
1 120mm fan and 2 CPU fans

May add another drive at some point.

Thanks!

That unit was released in 2006, making it a nearly 20 year old unit. You should consider purchasing a new PSU. Look into a reliably built 750W unit and that should keep you float for years and then some upgrades shoehorned in between said years.

Any you would recommend for around £30?

Would the computer just power down if it wasn't enough to run it or would something bad happen?

Definitely not. That's bargain basement territory, ones that are likely to emit smoke.
