I have this power supply from my old pc and I want to use it in my new build.

My build is Ryzen 3 2200g, Gigabyte Ga-a320m-2sh motherboard, 8gb corsair ram, no graphic card

 

Will this power supply be enough and how many watt power supply is it I cannot able to understand

 

Also this power supply has 4 pin in cpu instead of 8 pins I see on similar build will it affect my pc somehow?

that psu is utte garbage, get any decent 400w+ psu.

 

your pc uses under 200w under load but still 400w is what you should be looking for.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Your power supply was made for computers from 2002 and older. That's how old it is.

For the past 10 years computers pull most of their power from 12V. Your power supply claims to be capable of outputting only 180W on the 12V rail, so for all intents and purposes, you've got a super old 180W PSU.
