New power supply

[Mathantastic]

Specs:
Ryzen 5 1400

16gb 2400 MHz ram dual channel

rx570 4gb

256gb NVME SSD

1tb SATA HD

Dell prebuilt motherboard

 

My father's PSU just broke, and putting it on PSU calculator, it recommends 470W for a new PSU

I found this power supply selling for pretty cheap, it is 550W and its 80 plus bronze, that would be enough right? I don't know much about PSUs, just know that gigabyte is a good brand, and 80 plus bronze means its pretty efficient, but not REEEEALLLY efficient

Edit: This morning, the PC just decided to turn on, even though it wasnt for a couple of days, don't know what changed lol, for now its working perfectly, if it happens again, I'll probly follow one of your suggestions for PSUs

I would honestly avoid any Gigabyte PSU, even if it's not the specific model because there's one model and they didn't help any customers with the issue of them exploding until GN has made some video's about it. Try looking in the PSU tier list and get the highest tier the budget allows. When buying a PSU also make sure the warranty is good. Corsair and Be Quiet make some solid units with good customer support.

Does the dell use a proprietary psu?  Check what's in there now, it's probably 360watt
