I dont know if my PSU is enough for my build

[JuztHunter]

Keeping it short I bought a CX-750M 80+ Bronze PSU from Corsair and im scared that it wont be enough for the pc i am building. Basically I just want it to work well to handle my pc and be quite at the same time. The specs are:

 

Ryzen 7 5700g

RTX 3060

2 x 16gb of ram 3200 MHz

1tb SSD 

idk if this things matter but ill put them anyway:

240mm radiator

6 total fans (counting the radiator)

Asus Rog Strix B550-F Motherboard with wifi

 

It wasnt until after i ordered everything where i always heard not to cheap out on the psu and that particular one was like 67 dollars, I dont know if i should use it for my build or not.

It is enough.

People never realize that things that have to physically move (like fans or radiator pumps) take up more power than things that stay still.  CPUs are pretty high in consumption, but 6 fans is surely more than ram and SSDs combined.

It's more than enough wattage for your build, you would have been fine with 650w so no worries there.

 

I assume it's the 2021 model?  If so, then you're in good shape.  That's a Tier A unit.

 

If it's the 2015 unit, then it's Tier C and just kind of bleh okay.

Should be fine. GPU is about 200w and CPU is about 65. 750 leaves plenty of room

It didnt really specify the model in the page i ordered it from, it probably should be the 2021 but i dont know how to tell, and i was going to go with the same one just 650w but just like half a dollar more was the 750w so i just went with that. Thank you though its still a big relief to know its enough.

Yeah i know those things take power, i wasnt scared a lot about the voltage but more the bronze lable, since i know most people go for gold, still thank you.

Bronze or Gold or Platinum sorta equates to build quality if you assume better rating means better stuff inside.  It can, it may not.

 

Efficiency is nice if you pay a lot for power, it can actually add up.

 

My issue is I am a gold snob.  I personally do NOT like gold, as in the color or jewelry. I like silver, white gold, platinum,  etc.  So my brain doesn't allow me to get a gold PSU.  Just one of those things   So don't worry about the Bronze, as their are solid PSUs in that range.  Quality > Efficiency.

CX750M 2021 Tier A? Are you sure? As far as I know CXM 2021 is still double forward on the primary what automatically means it's Tier C at best.

750w is plenty but a PSU with an outdated internal design with double forward on the primary is a pretty bad purchase for nowadays standards.

So if thats the case would you recommend me to use that psu or change it? And if its a change then what power supplies are good?

Ha!  I saw low priority and went to Tier A.   IT is Tier C.

 

I R DUMB.

 

Thanks man, fucked that one up I did.
