Hi guys, I needed some help here.

It has been many years since I upgraded my PC, recently I saw some good deals and went ahead.

But the last thing on my mind was the PSU. I tried afew online power calculator and it seems the power draw was 200+ watt.

I just want to b sure that my 450w really has enough juice, anything I need to worry about?

 

Current PSU: Corsair CX450M

 

CPU: Ryzen 3 3100

MB: MSI B550M Bazooka
Ram: 2x 16GB Teamgroup DDR4 3200

GFX: Zotac 1660 Super
SSD: Intel 730 240GB
HDD: WD Caviar Green 3TB

Misc: 4x120fans, Stock CPU fan, ducky KB, gaming mouse

I would honestly get 550w incase you want to upgrade a couple components. 450w should be fine but I personally like to get a little larger of a PSU than I need for both future proofing and PSUs have a range where they run the most efficiently which usually is around 50%-75% usage.

I am not an expert! I have had experience building computers but in no way am I Linus! Please correct me if I am wrong, I would love to here your feedback!

 

Have a good day!
