A build with just a CPU will work perfectly fine with a 300W PSU, but if you've got a dedicated graphics card in it then I'd bump it up to 500W at the least.

If you are building a system, I wouldn't recommend getting anything below 500 watts, pre-builds often come with smaller wattage power supplies and don't have much room for components to be upgrade therefore. The PSU calculator is likely not accounting for other peripherals that you may have connected and if the system would be stable under full load with that power supply. What components do you have in your system?

A GPU that doesn't use power cables can only pull 75W.

Sometimes even less like 25 or 50 watts if it is not a regular retail motherboard (such as in the case with OEM branded motherboards).

yeah no, at least 450W. 300W is like "bare minimum" but actually no. 300W is like the max draw, but It'll give no room to reuse the PSU if you upgrade.

that system will draw about 300 watts at the ABSOLUTE max, maybe around 250 in most high use cases, and probably close to 200 in gaming. You can use any decent 400 watt PSU and up and have some room to upgrade.

 

The difference is that the 300 watt PSU would technically work, but there's no good 300 watt power supplies.

300W !!!!!!!!

Power supplies provide power to computer components on three different voltages: 3.3v , 5v and 12v

Some components use mostly 12v, some use only 5v, very few components these days use 3.3v

 

Cheaper / older power supplies have a portion of their maximum output reserved for 3.3v and 5v so you have to be careful and actually look on the label to see how much power the power supply can provide on the voltage most components will actually draw power from.

Newer power supplies produce all the advertised power on 12v, and then have inside circuits which take a bit of that 12v and produce 3.3v and 5v as needed, and such designs are a bit better for modern computers.

 

For example, your system would use about this much :

Ryzen 2600 : 80 - 110 watts, all on 12v

GTX 1650 Super : 95-110 watts, probably 90-100w on 12v, around 5-10w on 3.3v

Memory : usually around 2-3 watts per stick, most motherboards use 5v to power the memory sticks.

Motherboard (chipset, onboard network, audio, various things) : around 10-20 watts, mostly 5v and 3.3v 

SSD : around 2-3 watts , all from 5v if it's sata, 3.3v if it's m.2 (but motherboard may produce the 3.3v voltage from 5v of your power supply)

mechanical drives : typically around 5-6 watts from 5v, around 5 watts from 12v

 

So your computer will probably consume up to around 250 watts from 12v, and maybe 20-30 watts from 5v and 3.3v

You should always leave at least 20% or so reserve, to not run a power supply at close to 100%, so estimate around 300 watts on 12v as a minimum you should look for.

 

A modern 450 watts power supply will be capable of producing up to around 420 watts on 12v and up to around 60 watts on 3.3v and 5v, but all combined would not exceed 450 watts.

 

Usually there's very little price difference between a 450w and a 500-550w model, so it's often just better to just not stress about it ... but if you have the choice between a brand name quality but lower wattage model and a higher wattage cheap less known brand model, go for the brand name quality one.

very minimum power supply

 

It's certainly not a great power supply by any means, although it should be significantly better for use in this system than a potentially dangerous 300 watt unit that the OP may have bought. Reputable and modern power supplies come with at the very least 450 watts, anything below may be subject to have questionable quality.

 

At least an EVGA 500W 80+ PSU would be better than a most likely worst and potentially dangerous unit such as this:https://www.newegg.com/solid-gear-sdgr-mps3-300-300w/p/1HU-008G-00010?Item=9SIA6PW2EV8825&Description=300w psu&cm_re=300w_psu-_-9SIA6PW2EV8825-_-Producthttps://www.newegg.com/solid-gear-sdgr-mps3-300-300w/p/1HU-008G-00010?Item=9SIA6PW2EV8825&Description=300w psu&cm_re=300w_psu-_-9SIA6PW2EV8825-_-Product

 

* Warning, I strongly would advise against buying the Solid Gear 300w PSU that I have linked within this post for example purposes only, if you do choose to buy it, you do so at your own risk.

Yeah, I wouldn't buy any computer power supply that is rated for less than 500 watts of continuous wattage and/or is not 80+ certified at all.

I have run a GTX 1080 and Ryzen 6 3600 off of a Corsair CX450, and that's a system that's still in use today as a video editing PC. There are 400 watt units that are of decent quality, and if OP finds the be quiet System Power 9 or pure power 10 in a 400 watt variant, it is a good option.

 

With greek pricing, OP can't be too choosy.
