CPU: Intel Core i5-8400

Motherboard: ASUS Prime Z370-A

RAM: 2x 4 GB G.SKILL Ripjaws 2400 Mhz

GPU: AMD Sapphire NITRO+ RX580 8GB

HDD:

The wattage amount is enough, and the Corsair GS series falls into tier D on the the tier list, so it's nothing special, but it's fine enough. Your rig probably draws around 300 watts max, so not like you're putting it through its paces.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I currently do not have the budget to buy a new one. But will eventually save some to get a new one...

 

So far it has worked just fine, i checked voltages on BIOS and they seem fine. I will do a physical test though...

Those seem to have worked so far as well:

And people wanted to use those PSU in builds...

Dude....  That was only an average PSU over 10 years ago.  I surprised it still works.  Donate it to a museum.

 

I have an old Ultra X-Connect with green windows and cables that works, but I don't dare use it in a PC.  It sits on a shelf as a conversation piece.
