Will my Corsair TX650M 650W PSU be good enough with an RTX 3070?

[arthur_d11]

I have pretty much everything for this build already and i was wondering if my power supply would okay to use with my build.

 

Ryzen 5 5600x CPU

B550 Asus Rog Strix A -Gaming Mobo

2 x8 16 GB G. Skill 3600 DDR4 Ram

Gigabyte RTX 3070 GPU

 

This PSU is 80+ Gold rated and saw reviews on it and thought id buy it but now that i have it i just want to make sure itll be okay to use and not break anything.

I do plan on overclocking later on in the future.

Nope, It has only one EPS connector so your four pin will not be populated. Get a phantex amp 650. it is pretty much a seasonic rebrand. It is 80+ gold and $10 cheaper.

Unless you are doing high overclocks on Ryzen 9 CPUs, single 8 pin is enough. 

 

I think @arthur_d11 has the PSU already, so the answer would be yes, your PSU can handle that config no problem.

In terms of Cp and oc , yes. but in terms of everything else no. Honestly, it is better to populate it for later. Beside that It is over priced. You can get a 

EVGA G5,

Phanteks AMP

for cheaper.

All are gold and are full modular

I already have the PSU i got it last black friday for a good deal, but im a little confused to what your opinion were on it the specs, so you don't think it'll be okay?

If you have no idea about anything regarding PSUs, please have the decency to not spew absolute BS that misleads others.

And please don't try to make excuses for yourself, both of your replies have made it very obvious that you don't know anything.

Should be fine, the system should consume close to 300W under a gaming load. Worst case scenario, if it has trouble powering the system, is that it will safely shut down.

Yep you’re right, 300W is what pcpartpicker says how many watts it’s taking. Thank you very much appreciated advice!

You're perfectly fine.  Just use the 8-pin and leave the 4-pin on the motherboard unpopulated.

 

If you HAVE TO get a 4-pin for the CPU because you're going to do some crazy overclocking (doubt it, but...) or a use a really powerful CPU (like a Ryzen 9 5950X) and do "some" overclocking, you can buy a modular cable and plug it into the second 8-pin modular connector on the PSU:

Well it will work fine, it is the min required for the 3070.

 

However, if you plan on doing more in the future and or upgrading then you may want to look into both a higher end and higher wattage PSU.

 

Something like a Corsair RMX 750W as an example.
