Hello,
I just bought the parts I need for the first PC configuration I'm doing on my own. I followed a link in one Linus video for a PSU wattage calculator (https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator). The Recommended PSU Wattage shown there for my build is about 500 W. I bought a 550W PSU. However, I just saw that the box of my GPU says that I need a minimum of 600 W. Could you consult me about how I could make sure if my wattage is enough or if I should buy another PSU?
Here is my PC build:
GPU - Gigabyte Radeon RX 5700 GAMING OC 8G;
CPU - AMD Ryzen 5 3600 - I plan on using the stock cooler at first, but depending on the temperatures I might buy another one;
PSU - Corsair RM550x;
Motherboard - ASRock B450M Pro4;
SSD - Adata XPG SX8200 Pro 1TB;
RAM - 2X8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX, CMK16GX4M2Z3200C16;
Case - FractalDesign Define Mini C - again, depending on the thermals I might need to buy a fan or two in addition to the ones included in the case.
I would be happy to hear your opinions about the PSU issue, but also any general recommendations about this build.
Thanks!
