Power supply compatibility

[EDrack]

Hello. I'm building a new PC with Powercolor RX590 Red Dragon Graphic card  and AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Processor. Is AEROCOOL VX PLUS 650W power supply will be enough for this build ?

Oh heck yes.  Waaay more than enough.  One trick you can try is go to pcpartpicker.com and do a build of your components.  You don’t have to buy anything.  Just type in what you got and it will tell you what your power draw is.  The number it gives you will be a bit low, but it’s not useless.  I’m betting 500w is more than enough, unless you decide to overclock the absolute snot out of the 1600.  There are people that do that. Generally on water.  It’s one of the last really overclockable AMD chips.  The 2xxx stuff will a little. With the 3xxx stuff it’s close to pointless though.

At maximum power draw from the system, you should be right around the highest efficiency on the efficiency curve for that PSU. (which is a big reason why you should aim for the 50-60% of the PSU's power limit most of the time, because that's usually where it's most efficient)
