RTX2060 with a CX450?

[IIDiversity]

Hello, currently I am very stuck and puzzled. I decided I want to buy my all-round dream card, the RTX2060 because the fps is perfect and RTX on is a nice to have. I recently bought  a Ryzen 5 2600 with a B450ma and 16gb of ram clocked at 3200mhz. I decided to replace my gtx1050 because its slowly dying and its not powerful enough anymore as I want to try out higher quality games such as RDR2, CP2077 and MFS2020. I have been saving for a long time and am almost there until I found out my limiting factor, which is my PSU. I did more research and found out that it would be fine, especially that I won't OC and will have vsync on for most games until I buy a gsync monitor which is way in the future. Just in case, I questioned forums, however they were mixed, some say my pc will blow up, some say its a huge risk and some say it'll work flawlessly. I plan on purchasing a CX550 asap, which will take up to a few weeks to buy, but I want to enjoy playing games, and want to really try out red dead redemption 2. Please thoroughly describe if my cpu and ram is sufficient, and if my PSU is going to do fine for the next few weeks, It is a CX450 grey label from 2017 and I barely put any load onto it anyways. Thanks in advance!

It will be fine.

CX 2017 refresh is great, you should have no issues. I ran an i5 2400 and a 980 Ti (250W card) off a 450W CXM without issue, and that's an older and slightly worse PSU.

Ok thank you for the straight forward reply!

Cheers! Should I still consider purchasing a higher watt psu or just save my money?

Should be fine unless you upgrade GPUs. Even the 2060 Super (which pulls more power than the normal 2060) only pulls around 195W max, and the R5 2600 looks to be pulling around 77W or so max. So you're still under 300W for CPU + GPU, leaving 150W for RAM, mobo, fans, and any PCIe cards, RGB, or anything like that you may have. None of those pull much power, so unless you ran a crazy amount of them, you'll be fine.

I have exact same specs like you except the PSU, I have a CX550w the same 2017 grey series. Nvidia recommends a 500w PSU for the 2060 so it's good if you are upgrading to CX550. But for few weeks the 450w will do just fine. The CX 2017 grey PSUs are great units. No need to worry just don't overclock CPU or GPU till your CX550 arrives.

Ok thank you, its what I've been planning to do, by not overclocking which I never do. The only overclock I do is setting ram timings from 2333mhz to 3200mhz which im pretty sure should not be much of an issue

Me too only OC the RAM sticks to their rated 3200mhz using DOCP in the BIOS.
