[SOLVED] Would a 450 watt power supply be good enough for a ryzen 5 2600x and a rx 580

[Boomboy878]

I would like to build a budget build for around 550 dollars and I have a ryzen 5 2600x and a rx580 and I have a 450 watt power supply. I was wondering if that would be sufficient

Which 450W specifically?

The Seasonic Focus Gold 450W would work ok but if it's a low quality unit such as a Corsair VS then it needs to be replaced.

Typical Board Power (Desktop)
185 W

500 W

I would go with the recommendation from AMD.

Which 450W specifically?

Is is the sea sonic s12III

It's cutting it very close on an ok unit. I'd probably just snag a new PSU and not risk it.

This would be enough for the system & overclocking and the price is good after MIR.

That's one of the outsourced S12iii units of low quality. Don't risk it.

The psu above is a good option but this is a better option:

As mentioned by others above, I would definitely go for a PSU over 450w to be honest. Minimum 550w/600w.
