500 w enough?

[ff_Floris]

I recently found all the parts for a 550 dollar gaming pc online. It has a core i3-10105F and a Rx 6600. Will the psu be enough? The other parts are a 480gb ssd, 16gb ddr4 3200mhz but of the i3 it’s clocked at 2666 mhz, the intel stock cooler, a cit f3 case with 2 molex, and one 4 pin case fan.

yes it will be enough

EVGA W1 500w is a piece of junk. Bad quality, bad performance/voltage regulation and bad protections.

Problem is they have already bought the whole system and assembled it

Yeah, that's their problem. Now they have to buy a PSU again. It's an expensive lesson to ask advice before buying next time.

It is not enough because wattage isn't the only thing that matters. PSU's guts also matter.

 

You may have a 2000 W PSU, it'll be worst at driving a power-hungry GPU than a good 1000 W PSU.

That’s on a different scale tho. They’re psu is fine for now and since they just built a budget system I wouldn’t want them to spend even more money on a psu

Like some other user pointed out, that PSU is a piece of garbage, and it's too late to ask, you ask for advice before buying, not the other way around.

 

So, I'm afraid you wasted your money. I can say no more...

Not talking different scale here.

 

We're talking the exact same thing. The only difference being you believing it's fine while me knowing for sure it's not.

 

Don't spread misinformation, please.

Budget system doesn't mean junk parts. You wouldn't want to spend more money, but they will spend more money anyway, simply bc that PSU won't behave well with gaming components. I strongly recommend you to read on modern GPU's power behavior and also the difference between dirt-cheap PSU knockouts and somewhat decent PSUs.

According to EVGA's own website, that thing has a sleeve-bearing fan, a 3-year warranty, and almost certainly a double-forward + group-regulation topology. That used to be OK 10 years ago, but modern GPUs are very different from 10-year-old GPUs.

You're buying in NL? https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/1720028/delta-gps-850hba-a22.html is cheap and good but not modular so you have a lot unused cables in the case.  https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/1663416/seasonic-b12-bc-550.html for less fixed cables and lower price.   https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/1849562/nzxt-c650-gold-v2.html is top notch for it's price. Fully modular and high-end.
