Is my power supply enough?

[kitsuneshrine]

I dont know if my current power supply is enough for my PC that im going to upgrade

I have a Thermaltake smart 600w 80+ certified ATX power supply

My PC upgrade is going to have a MSI RTX 2080 8GB, a B350M BAZOOKA motherboard, Ryzen 7 2700 w/ be quiet cpu cooler dark rock 4, Corsair Vengeance 16 GB RAM, Corsair LL Series LL120 RGB 120mm Dual Light Loop RGB LED, and one 1TB hard drive and one 4TB hard drive

You should be fine, however I'd look to upgrade to a higher quality, and possibly beefier power supply before adding much else.

Junk. Low quality, group regulated design. Should not be used with the system you're planning.

If you can afford $1500+ on a PC, you can afford a decent PSU. Prioritise decent PSU above RGB fans. Also get a SSD as well for your OS. If you don't already have the B350M Bazooka, then maybe consider swapping it for something else, preferably B450 chipset for the Ryzen 2700.

 

Wattage wise a system with a Ryzen 2700 + RTX 2080 should be under 400W consumption.
Expect about $80 for a decent PSU like a Corsair RM550x, Bitfenix Whisper M, etc.

Abandon RGB fans and use that money to upgrade PSU and motherboard

Maybe hold off on the CPU for now then, wait for Zen2 (Ryzen 3000) series CPUs that will be releasing in a few months.

What is your current system that you're upgrading from?

That's a great way to waste time and money for no benefit at all. Save up and buy all the parts at once.

Ah, so you already have the CPU and motherboard...

• RAM
• Graphics card (& Power Supply)
• SSD

Doesn't really matter which order you upgrade them in. RAM & SSD are fairly cheap so maybe that first. When you upgrade your graphics card replace your PSU as well - Don't use your current Thermaltake Smart PSU with a RTX2080.

Would the ASUS - ROG Strix B450-F Gaming (Socket AM4) USB 3.1 Gen 2 AMD Motherboard with LED Lighting be good with the parts im going to get

Ah, easy. Plenty available. All have links to PCPP, then you can see what price that are at different stores and click on the store to be taken to the stores website for the item.

Absolute cheapest that you could go
Corsair CX550 (2017)
CoolerMaster Masterwatt 550

Acceptable
Bitfenix Formula 550W
Be Quiet Pure Power 11 500W

Preferred
Corsair RM550x (2018)
Bitfenix Whisper M 550W

 

If you're looking at a high end card like the RTX2080, you can probably afford to go beyond the cheaper stuff. Out of those I would personally preference the Bitfenix Whisper 550W.

IMO the Asus Strix B450 boards are a little overpriced for what they are. Not bad, but usually equal or better stuff from other manufacturers for cheaper. I would definitely consider keeping the CPU & motherboard you have and look at the other upgrades first, and then maybe consider a new CPU & motherboard when the new Ryzen CPUs launch in a few months along with new motherboard chipsets... Though the Ryzen 2700 is still a good CPU and the B350 Bazooka will be fine if you're not overclocking, so consider CPU&Motherboard replacement low on your list of priorities.
