Will my power supply be powerful enough?

I suggest a 1200W Seasonic Titanium rated power supply. You should all stop assuming that just because it's not a sAsONiC or derived from one it will blow up. That power supply may not be very efficient, quiet, or capable of delivering very clean power, but it's good enough for OPs needs.

No.

 

Thats BEYOND TERRIBLE advice. This psu is known to have issues. It's a risky unit. If you can avoid using it do so. Op is RIGHTLY worried here as the psu itself is already blatantly lying ON THE STICKER AND BOX. So yeah this is a danger unit. Low quality and does not seem to have any form of protection what so over. It doesn't even have a 80+ rating. This is a beyond terrible unit basically guaranteed to kill a system.

 

Will there be people that are lucky and use this psu for a decade without issues? Probably. But that doesn't change the fact that it's a bad unit and you should NOT rely on luck.

I agree with those who'd said that that Deepcool PSU should be avoided. An RTX 3050 and an i3 10100F combo isn't that power hungry but still, I'd say a better PSU should be considered. Not necessarily higher wattage, but a quality 600W/650W PSU from Corsair, Seasonic, Be Quiet!, etc would be better for peace of mind.

 

I don't only talk the talk, I walk the walk as well, all my PSUs are at least 1kW, two Corsairs, a Seasonic and an Enermax.

It's a bad power supply and whether or not it blows up, it will cause you anxiety.

 

How are you with mail in rebates?

 

This is a nice unit and only $45 after rebate. And If you shut off the lights it reaches near Gold efficiency.

What if the combo was with an i5 and RTX 3050

Wait... I thought you already had these parts.  Why would you knowingly buy a bunch of garbage parts?  Refuse the shipment.

It's sadly too late, I was stupid and bought it when ExactlyThor said ok and somebody irl said it should be fine. The company I bought it from is trustable and the pc has at least one year of warranty, i'll deffo change the PSU by that time.
