enough, but not a good thing to use long term

maybe you can use it until you get a proper power supply that wont explode

 

and it might depend on which case, some provided power supplies are chinese crap

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

the one in the node 202 is pretty decent, shoule be enough for you

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

first of all dont buy a 1060 3GB it's garbage compared to 480 4GB. 10% performance difference

 

Yes, but I strongly recommend going for it without a PSU and getting a Corsair SF

idk

You can always use pcpartpicker.com o check for compatibility, they have a wattage calculator and they'll give you a warning if your power supply doesn't supply enough watts.

pcpartpicker is not always super reliable and it spits out an estimated 230W and so does pretty much every other so called "PSU consumption calculator" but it dosen´t add upp in my head sence the gtx 1060 has a recomended 400W to safely drive the whole system. and you probably wanna be somewhere in the 100W range over that to be on the safe side

It's just Nvidia covering their asses. They run their test system with a 120W CPU and a 1060 and spit out 400W recommended. 

450W is perfectly fine. 

 

Get the Node 202 WITHOUT the PSU and then pick up a Corsair SF450 to power the setup.

480 4GB > 1060 3GB

PSU + case is more expensive than the one that comes with the node 202, but a significantly better unit.

idk

The recommended 400w is the company way to cover all of the different level of qualities of power supply that is on the market, as well as multiple of different system's configuration. As you can see in this link, the GTX 1060 draw <130wDC by itself. https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_1060/24.html

 

The FSP based Fractal Design Integra SFX 450w that's included with that case bundle would be fine for that system; however, it's an old design that isn't that great. I would recommend getting the Node 202 without a PSU and get something like the Corsair SF 450w instead.

Just letting you know I have the xfx rx480 rs 4gb and it's a great card. I have no issues with heat or noise. It can pretty much handle anything I throw at it in 1080p. And if you time it right you can get a great price on it. I picked mine up at Best Buy for 150 USD with the white led fans on it.

The integrated PSU in the Node 202 has multiple users on the forum with negative experiences as the same for Paul iAmApropos. It's just a bad PSU. Get a Corsair SF450 and don't worry about it.

|PSU Tier List /80 Plus Efficiency| PSU stuff if you need it.
