Okay. I'm planning to upgrade from 2400G to 3600. Having 500w is okay.

Around 220W for the entire system with GTX1070, and around 250W for RX5700.

We can't suggest anything without knowing exactly what PSUs you have in stock anyway, and for what prices. We need links to online stores you will buy from, otherwise everyone has to blindly guess what PSUs are there and what price they have.

Will seasonic focus plus 550 be enough ?

Yes, 550w will be more then enough for your planned system.

With the ryzen 3600 paired with either the GTX 1080 or RX5700 your system consumption should be under 300w.

Is 400w of power supply enough for rx 470 4gb and core i5 3570??

 

If the 400W power supply is a good power supply, then it is far more than enough

Hi Guys,

 

My current build contains a Ryzen 1200, Rx460 (See sig for more details) aswell as 4 led case fans. At some point i'm gonna do a full high end rebuild but until then i'm looking to just upgrade the GPU for a little extra performance.

 

I'm looking at getting a rx580 (will be running either stock or mildly undervolted) but not sure if that would be uncomfortably close the the limit of the PSU. CPU draws around 60W peak but usually sits at 45-50W when gaming

 

I've seen some reviews say the 580 can hit up to 200W so with up 60W CPU then 100W rest of system its ~350W total

 

PSU is a Coolermaster Masterwatt Lite v2 400W

 

Do we reckon that would be alright or should a play it safe with like rx570

 

Used market is great around me so i'll have no trouble getting either card at a good price

Ryzen 7 2700X  | Gigabyte RX5700 XT | ASUS TUF B450M | HyperX Fury 2x16gb 3200MHz |  CM MasterBox Lite 3 (Mesh Modded) | Corsair MP510 960GB | Be Quiet Pure Power 11 700w

In theory the psu can do around 360 watts on 12v.

Go for the RX 580 is the price is very good.

 

If you absolutely have to, you can go in the AMD control center in Wattman and reduce the power budget for the card, or reduce the maximum frequencies (basically lower it to RX 570 levels from software). You'll shave 20-50 watts from its power consumption.

Thanks, fair enough

 

I've always kinda advised the max system draw to not be more than like 3/4 of the peak PSU power. Well guess as long as I don't do any overclocking and keep an eye on it, should be fine :)

How can you tell if you put so much extra stuff into your pc since its creation that it might need an new psu to be able to cope as it is now or before you think of adding more stuff into it.

Before. But then again even 600-700 watt psu's arent very expansive at all.

Look at what PSU model you have, and what you want to power.
