New psu?

[UhBreezyK]

Help! I just got a new 1660 and my computer says that the computer isn’t getting enough power. I currently have a Thermaltake TR2 powering a Ryzen 7 8 core, a 1050 ti, 2 sticks of 8 gb ddr4 ram, 1 256 sad and 1 terabyte of storage. What do i need to upgrade my power supply to?? (Btw the 1660 will replace the 1050 ti)

600w psu can handle your specs and gtx 1660 upgrade fine.

 

Is it TR2 600w? 500w? 400w?

[NotSoEpicMods]

The Thermaltake TR2 is listed as "Tier D - Potentially dangerous, but only in specific situations" so you could just be running into a low quality psu issue. I would recommend 600W  in teir b+ or higher from the PSU Teir list linked below. This should leave a generous amount of power headroom for overclocking/upgrades without being way too overkill.

Any brands from tier B all the way to tier S is good.

Where does it say this?

 

The Thermaltake TR2 430W is very old and very crappy. You should replace it.

How much money do you have to spend on the new power supply?

Most of Thermaltake's budget PSU's are garbage and should be avoided. They have a few high end PSUs that are pretty good, but generally there's other stuff from other brands that are similarly priced and better options.

For the 1660 you should only require one PCIe cable. You will need one 8pin EPS12V for CPU power. Plus SATA connectors for however many hard drives/SSDs you have. You may also need extra SATA or Molex power connectors for any fan hubs, RGB hubs, etc that you might have.

A decent 450-550W power supply will be fine for your system. The Corsair CX450 is currently on sale for $50 at Newegg.

okay thank you spotty. Is there any other power supplies you would suggest?

You have to quote or tag someone, or else they won't get a notification. 

What's wrong with the CX450?

How do I tag someone? and secondly I want to just know if there is a way to check if it fits in my case?

I was looking at the suggestion you gave me and it doesn't fit the dimensions of my computer. I was looking at the cooler master MWE 550 Bronze -V2. It fits the dimensions of 140 x 150 x 86mm. Is this a good replacement?

They both have the same dimensions.

No the platform itself and build quality are mediocre at least. And this particular psu has lot of reviews with problems in my country - the fan dont start, noises from the fan\electricals...
