    How to select perfect PSU

    in Power Supplies

    Posted

    Hej y'all!

     

    I'm currently struggling with choosing the perfect PSU for my planned setup. I've checked out some PSU Wattage Calculator-pages such as this, this, or the one at pcpartpicker.com

    The result for my parts are always between 350 and 450 wattage. I'm absolutely confused because that sounds really tight to me. Also at the first calculator page gave me a result of 437w and recommended me a 850w PSU?

     

    Thanks in advance!

    Will my current PSU be able to power my planned build?

    As a general rule unless you’re doing esports games any cpu that will handle a game reasonably well will push a “1080 class” gpu fine.  I’m in a minority here who is suspicious of 6/12 for very long term.  I suspect if one wants a cpu to last as long as the upcoming crop of consoles is out an 8/16 may be needed.  The virus has made me less sure of that though.   Global recession might make some game makers more willing to allow their stuff to run on weaker hardware.

    Okay, thanks for ur help!🙂

    If you got a GPU that’s gud’nuff I’d say holding till probably Black Friday is wise.

    That was actually the plan, thanks!

    Well also u said that the 3600s are no "power hogs". I hope u just meant that it doesn't need that much power to perform well. Or was that meant as "thats not a good cpu so the PSU will probably handle that easily"?🙄

    Hej y'all!

     

    I am currently planning a build which was already discussed here. As my budget is pretty tight, I want to keep some parts of my current system temporarily while already using the parts (which u can see in the link below) until I've saved up a bit more. I'd then buy a new PSU & GPU. My question is, if my current PSU will be able to power my planned build without causing any problems or even damaging some parts(?).

     

    !Please notice that I am aware of having a huge GPU bottleneck with this setup but the GPU is part of my current setup & I'd upgrade that one asap as well as the PSU!

     

    This would be my temporary build: https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/Jvmwf9. My current PSU is the following: "FSP Group FSP550-80GHN(85) 550w"

    As u've may noticed, the partpicker does not include a Motherboard. Thats because Im waiting for the B550 chip to be released. I'll then probably go with the B550-F Gaming or the B550 TUF.

     

    Again, to prevent any unnecessary replies: I just want to know, if my current PSU (FSP Group FSP550-80GHN(85) 550w) will handle my planned setup (https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/Jvmwf9).

     

    Thanks in advance!

    They will be cheaper than X570 but no exact pricing as yet.

     

    There is a B550-F Strix in the lineup. Looks like it has a much better VRM as well, and it has an ARGB header.

     

    https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/ROG-STRIX-B550-F-GAMING/

     

     

    Oh okay. I'll definitely wait for the B550-F Gaming then and see how the price will be set. Actually like 5 minutes before I've read your comment, I realized that the B450-F Gaming only offers 2x RGB- but no aRGB-header. I thought I've read something different earlier.🥵


    May u know about an alternative to the B550-F Gaming if it will be too expensive? Important for me are a solid VRM, M.2 SSD socket, support for DDR4 ~3000 MHz, not too less usb slots, support for the Ryzen 3000 series and an aRGB-header.

    If you can wait until June 16th the B550 boards are due out.

    Well uhm is there any price point revealed yet? I bet they will be way more expensive and I dont see why I should go for the B550 chip. But maybe the B450 chipped Motherboards will be cheaper then?

    @VEXICUS The Motherboard I mentioned is compatible out of the box aswell at the retailer of my choice.

    Nvm, I see why I should go with the Tomahawk max! My only concern here is that it has RGB lighting while I want to go with Corsair RGB components which uses iCue as software. MSI is not yet compatible. But I think I should just ignore that one & maybe wait for MSI to meet with Corsairs iCue.

    Thanks!

    Thanks for your suggestion, @VEXICUS!

     

    I have some concerns with that build actually. I actually want to buy the Sharkoon Pure Steel as a case because 1. I really love the look & also I'd get like 40% off the price.

    Also I want to have some RGB elements. That's why I've chosen the Corsair Vengeance RGB instead of the LPX. The ROG Strix B450-F Gaming is my fav cuz I obv want to use iCue as the RGB-Software & Asus Motherboards with RGB are compatible with it & it has an ARGB-header which is really important for me.

    My question now is the folllowing: Why did u replace the Motherboard? Is there anything really bad with my choice or is that just because of the fact, that it supports up to 3200 memory speed without OCing? I mean the difference in gaming between 3000 & 3200 MHz is not really noticable as far as I know.

     

    Again, thanks for your suggestions, I'd love to get my questions answered!😇

    When making posting mistake just ask to be moved, no need to make another.

    Thanks but as I already made a new one as u can see, would it be possible for you to delete the old one & just keep the new one in here? I think that would be a little bit more clear to everyone.

    Hej y'all.

     

    As I'm currently planning to build a new (my first) custom PC for myself, I'd love to hear some opinions.

    Please notice, that the components which are marked with a star, are components from my current build. I will replace them ASAP but in my opinion they are not that necessary as they won't kill my system.

     

    Budget (including currency): No really budget but not too expensive, lol. Calculating in € tho

    Country: Germany

    Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly gaming - GTA V, Battlefield, Valorant, (Minecraft)

     

    Temporary Build:

    Motherboard: Asus ROG Strix B450-F Gaming

    CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600

    Memory: Unknown but 16GB @ 1333 MHz*

    GPU: Nvidia GTX 970*

    PSU: FSP Group FSP550-80GHN(85) 550w*****

    Fans: 2x Fans which are included in the Sharkoon Pure Steel case

     

    Final Build:

    image.thumb.png.a7ff6001c99d505403d6063512315d0f.png

     

    Well that's probably it. What I want to hear now is ... if the temporary planned build could cause problems or even damaged hardware(?) & ... if the final build will perform well(?)

     

    Thanks in advance to everyone!
