Ok, by this point I hear more value than performance. PSU selection does not depend on GPU only. Please post full specs for proper answers. In any case that 750W Gold will power pretty much anything single GPU based (unless you plan on swapping to a RTX Titan down the line).

 

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 with Stock Cooler

RAM : 2x8GB HyperX Fury @ 3000mhz

PSU: Cooler Master MasterWatt Lite 500W 80 Plus

GPU : RX580 Armor

HDD: 1TB Toshiba

SSD: 120GB Kingston

Mobo: A320 M-H

Vengance 650W. Plenty of overhead for most high tier GPUs (Like RTX and RX5XXX) if you decide to upgrade

Ok thanks.

 

In your opinion is it necessary I upgrade from the Cooler Master MasterWatt Lite ? Some say its fine, others say I should change it because its dangerous ?

it notes exactly what i said

 

there's no UVP in that list

 

There is here...

https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/power-supplies/masterwatt-lite-230v/masterwatt-lite-230v-500w/

 

IT says it has UVP

 

 

 

 

The ony jonnyguru tested is a slightly different model to mine, he is testing the 80+ white edition, whereas mine is the 230v 500w edition
The title of the review is wrong, if you see page two it's a different model to mine.

If you plan on swapping to a more powerful GPU in the future. And I would not say the 500W is dangerous per say, its just the collective understanding that in the long run you are better off investing in better gear

Thanks everyone for your valuable input.

 

If i buy a more powerful GPU in future i'll definitely invest in an RM750X

 

I'm monitoring my PSU with HWINFO, so far on the 12v rail the lowest i've had during CS GO and previously is 11.808
