Evga 400w certified psu

I don't believe EVGA sells any good 400 watt PSU models so I don't recommend using this unit. A CX450 and removing the GTX 1050 is recommended.

My pc specs are: 

i3 8100 (waiting for i5 9600k)

z370 motherboard 

rtx 2060 

8gb 2400 mhz ddr4

i was wondering if I could use my old gtx 1050 2gb for just another monitor Becuse why not. But I don’t know if a 400w could power the rtx 2060 and 1050

can we get the specific model of the PSU?

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 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I really don't get why you'd keep the 1050 for just another monitor, and I would only use a 2060 with a 400W PSU if it is a really high quality one, so knowing the model of the PSU would be useful for us to answer your question.

Desktop: Intel Core i9-9900K | ASUS Strix Z390-F | G.Skill Trident Z Neo 2x16GB @ 3200MHz CL14 | EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER XC Ultra | Corsair RM650x | Fractal Design Define R6

Laptop: 2018 Apple MacBook Pro 13"  --  i5-8259U | 8GB LPDDR3 | 512GB NVMe

Peripherals: Leopold FC660C w/ Topre Silent 45g | Logitech MX Master 3 & Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed | HIFIMAN HE400se & iFi ZEN DAC | Audio-Technica AT2020USB+
