power supply

[whewston]

so i have a ryzen 5 3600x, radeon 570x gpu, gigabyte aorus b450pro, a samsung 870evo 1tb and 2 x 8gb of ddr4 ram. I am just about to upgrade my cpu cooler to a scythe ninja 5 and add 3 more case fans, giving me a total of 6 rgb case fans. Is 550w enough to run this? websites such as partpicker and the coolermaster one say it is, but on other websites I've seen that my graphics card recommends 450+ is the 450 just for gpu usage? or should I be upgrading my psu too?

Which 550 W PSU are we talking about here?

corsair cv550

I wouldn't run a 570 with an entry level PSU like that...

Not a very good PSU. Go for the Corsair CX450 or 550. Both budget PSUS but significantly better than the CV.

cv550 will work. but im not comfortable with it. if you can buy a better psu. if you cannot well, you have to test it,
