Is 450W PSU good enough for RTX 3060 + Ryzen 3 3300x build?

Subcents

I have a Corsair CV450 Psu, and I am wondering if it is suitable for my RTX 3060 build

Build: RTX 3060, Ryzen 3 3300x, 16gb DDR4, 1 HDD, 1 NVMe gen 3 SSD and 3 case fans

Not with that one no. Not going to work you need something better. An msi mpg 650 is currently 90$ and a great psu.

maybe. and I mean Maybe. Linus was able to run a 5600x and 3080 on a 550W Seasonic for a while, but only temporarily.

If its a good psu, easily...

 

I used to run my 3070 + r5 3600 just fine on a pure power 500w psu.

 

But I can't really say anything about the quality of CV psus...

A 450W PSU is enough for that combo, but you might want to look into getting a better quality power supply in general. The PSU you have now isn't great.

So the consensus is,  450w is ok, but not with this cv450 psu... might as well get a 650w rmx as they go for around 100$ and are more than fine with room to spare.

Is CV450 considered a trash psu? Like a fire hazard or something? Because techpowerup could only get their RTX 3060 to spike to 193W in testing and OP is pairing it with a 65W cpu. Though you'll want to upgrade that cpu to something like an R5 3600, R7 3700X, or R5 5600X in the not too distant future because a 3300X seems like it would bottleneck that gpu pretty significantly, especially if you're playing at 1080p.
