Is a cv550w good enough?

[uzdlebron]

Hi

I just bought a corsair cv550 since it was on sale but after reading reviews it seems like it might not have been a good idea. Currently I have a a12-9800 which I'm pretty sure the psu can handle but if I wanted to upgrade to a 2600 and a 1650 then would the psu be able to handle it?

Thanks

Yeah that is more than enough for a 1650 and 2600

The wattage is suitable.

 

While the PSU isn't very robust, I wouldn't worry. A Ryzen 5 and a 1650 are not very demanding.

Yeah, get a 3600 instead though, they cost almost the same and the 3600 is better.

Hi

It will last a few years atleast correct? Atleast around 2 to 3 years. Cause I've seen some really bad reviews about it thats why I'm asking.

Again, the Ryzen 5 2600 and GTX 1650 are not super demanding components. Don't expect the CV550 to burst into flames on you.

 

However, if you are interested in a better power supply so that you can upgrade more in the future, and to give yourself peace of mind, check out the PSU tier list and grab a B tier unit at least.
