What would happend if i use it? I have 1tb and 2tb hard drive and a 500Gb ssd 

Wouldn't say that component failure is guaranteed, but it wouldn't be too difficult for that PSU to cause a problem. Maybe just run the PC without the graphics card for a week? Would lighten the load a lot

9700K ~~ 150 watts

2060 ~~ 200 watts

you have enough, but man that PSU is bad

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Hey everyone i wanted to ask if these would work fine with a 500W powersupply its all i have right now cause i went to my local shop and they dont have any powersupply instock at the moment.

- Enough watt

- The listed PSU (Thermaltake Smart) is not a good quality PSU. Especially not for the PC you are building.

 

Are you buying from Amazon?

500W is enough but you should buy a PSU from a more reliable brand.

No im not buying from amazon its what i have right now with me

I wouldn't use a system like yours with that PSU.

The sorts of PSU's you should consider is something like a Corsair TX, RM or RMX, or Be Quiet Straight Power 11, or BitFenix Formula. But it really depends on what you can get that is good quality:

Consider Tier B+ or better.

 

You probably paid between 1200 and 1500 USD, you shouldn't put a bad quality 50 USD PSU on that build.
