Hey all! I am in the middle of building a pc and I've run across a power supply problem. I currently have a 450 watt psu from a pervious upgrade I did. I ran my components through Outervission and Newegg psu calculators and I got a 376 rating on Outervision and a 496 psu rating on Newegg. Can I get by with a 450 watt power supply or do I need to get a new one? Responds to this thread is appreciated.

What are the specs of the new build? What exact model is the psu?

I am far from an expert in this so please correct me if I’m wrong.

Quote or tag me so I can see your response

My current PSU is a corsair 450 watt gold rated psu. I have an Intel i7 5820k with a possible 1080 ti founders edition card.

Sorry... not a 1080 ti- just a 1080. 

I'm guessing it's the CS450M...? Should be fine

the model is a Rps0126 psu

after some googling, that shows as the corsair CV450

are you sure you have a 450 watt 80 Plus gold unit?

 

if its the CV, would recommend replacing it

You shouldn't use a double forward group regulated PSU, like the CV450, with a 1080 TI.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

So is it the GeForce GTX 1080 Founders Edition? If so, then no, I would go a little higher with a 500-550 watt power supply at a minimum, like the one linked below.
