is 450w PSU enough for RX 570 + i7-860

Hi,

so i have an AMD RX 570 with i7-860 and i'm planning to change my power supply since my current one is having a hard time booting up the pc, is 450w enough for it or should i just aim for like 500-600w psu

Welcome to the Forums!

 

The suggested PSU for an RX 570 is 450W according to TechPowerUp: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-570.c2939 and I would say you could probably get away with even a little less than that. The RX 570 doesn't draw that much power - I wouldn't recommend putting it with a 300W PSU, but even a 400W would probably be okay.

 

The more important thing, as pointed out in LTT's video today, is getting a good quality 450W unit, as that's infinitely better than a garbage 500W or 600W one.

The above comment is spot on, but also consider future upgrades. It may be worth spending 20 bucks more today so you don’t have to buy an entirely new PSU on a year or two if you upgrade. Just something to consider….
