Can I run i7-9700 with 1660 with 600 watt psu

[Alkabvxz]

I built my pc a few weeks ago and it is a i7-9700 with gigabyte z390 ud motherboard and 16 gb ddr4 3200 mhz, 1 tb hdd and 240 gb ssd and a evga 80 plus 600 watt power supply and was thinking on getting a GTX 1660 later on in 2020 but i dont think i can run it with a 600 watt power supply

600w psu can run any single gpu.

This sounds like a bad unit, wattage wise is enough but quality wise it's very questionable.

yes and no. You could run that with a 600 watt power supply. But i wouldn't recommend using it with that power supply because that's not a very good unit.

Can you post a link to your power supply, these guys are saying it's bad but I'm fairly certain an EVGA 80+ certified power supply is perfectly fine

What are you guys basing this opinion on?

 

EVGA uses Seasonic, Superflower, HEC and other reputable OEMs for their units. I'd hardly call said OEMs "very questionable" or "not very good".

This is what i was thinking.  Only the 2 absolute "worst" EVGA PSU lines (the N1 & W1 series) are either not rated (N1) or white rated (W1).  Aside from those 2, The B1 and up are all at least 80+bronze.  Not much EVGA puts its hands on can be called bad IMO.  Am I saying the lower level ones like B series are great and I would personally use them? No I probably wouldn't.  But I wouldn't say they are bad, they are simply not "enthusiast grade."  Worst case scenario, it won't get off your mind and you "have" to replace it, you can pick up something like a Corsair cx650m for like 70 USD, and that is a quality entry unit to put your mind at ease.
