Is 300W enough?

Burner1061

I plan on getting an AMD A10-5800K (100W) and either the GTX 1650, GT 1050, or GT 1050 Ti (All without external power). Do I need a new PSU or will I be fine with the original 300W PSU? https://ibb.co/vq72hv8

If it's a high quality PSU with all 300W on the 12V. Maybe.

But I doubt it, likely from a pre-built? Upgrade that thing before it catch fire, if you can. (they often use proprietary connectors.. especially if it's a DELL)

CPU 100w GPU 90W, yes it should be fine.

Wait,that PSU is not pure 300w, only 200w on one rail.

Yes you should change it.

You're fine. One rail goes to cpu and the other rail to motherboard and peripherals. Total powerconsumption of the system don't exceed 200w. HP psu's aren't that bad.

you are mostly fine. those gpus use 75w or under. while that cpu uses aorund 110w so that is under 200w on the 12V rail.that is fairly close tho. you can test with hat psu tho. if not work correctly upgrade.
