Oh Gods of LTT Forums, please help me in my first venture into 144hz goodness.

I've ordered the first one but it comes in before the sale ends, so any help is appreciated. I mostly play competitive games but a non-comp game like Fallen Order every now and then isn't rare for me. 1080P is preferable as I don't see a big difference in 1440 and 4k is too much for my build.

You can pay a buck for the xbox pc game pass for 1 month and play Forza 4. You can also try "Next Car Game" which is an indie game with very good car crash and driving mechanics.

Okay, thank You for pointing out the reason anyway. If anyone knows the fix I would be grateful.

Maybe try disabling Mouse Acceleration under "Advanced Mouse Settings". Usually isn't the culprit but it's happened to me.

Yeah, it's enough

 

RX 570 uses up to around 180-200 watts on 12v, 3200g goes to maybe 60-80w , the rest of your system won't use over 25-50w.

 

So you need around 300-350w on 12v.

 

Manufacturers recommend higher wattage power supplies because a lot of power supplies from no-name manufacturers lie about their capabilities and don't actually supply the advertised number of watts, or that number of watts is split between the three main voltages a power supply produces : 3.3v , 5v and 12v.

So for example, you could have a psu say it can do 450 watts, but 100 watts is reserved on 3.3v, 100 watts is reserved on 5v, and only the rest of 250 watts is usable on 12v ... so such psu wouldn't work with your computer that needs 300+ watts at peak for your processor and video card, because you'll hit the 250 watts limit.

 

The psu you plan to get can output almost all those 450 watts on the 12v wires if needed, so you'll have plenty of margin.

Thank you for not being over dramatic about a budget PSU like some forums I know and understanding that not everyone has the use for a $250 God Level PSU. I'll wait for some more answers but your answer has pointed me in the direction of buying it.

Hey all!

I'm buying the parts to finish my mid range build tomorrow. According the pcpartpicker.com, the

system will use ~350 watts. I have no use for overclocking and I live in Canada where it's usually not extremely hot, and when it does

get stuffy, I have an air conditioner right next to my desk and a case that has great airflow, so overheating shouldn't be an issue right? Anyways, the Rx570's recommends 450w or more.

I will be playing games like R6 and CSGO on Max and Just Cause 3/4 and Medium-High ish. I will also play indie games like FTL, Kerbal Space Program, and other games

from the Xbox Game Pass PC. Will the 450w CXM get fried?

Thanks for reading and have a good night/day.

EDIT: If they have it in stock, Ill be getting the 3100x instead of the 3200.
