But I can't really find stuff there since half of those power supplies aren't even available in my country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 17, 2023 Your PSU is probably fine. The 570 uses like 165 watts IIRC. I edit the shit out of my posts. Refresh before you respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 17, 2023 Post some links to stores you can buy from so we can give you suggestions. The RX 570 consumes up to around 175 watts. The processor consumes up to 60-80 watts. Each fan around 2 watts. These are from 12v. Motherboard, around 10-15 watts. Ram maybe 2-3 watts per stick. SSD up to 6-10w only when writing a lot to it... these are from 5v and 3.3v So you need a power supply that can supply at least 300 watts on 12v output and from a brand you can be fairly sure they're not lying on the label saying something and in reality not being able to give that much. Your power supply seems like it's that kind Also you REALLY need to add a second stick of ram even if it's only 8 GB , or maybe even 4 GB. You will get a performance boost, could be up to 10-15% in some situations just from having two sticks working in dual channel mode. If you don't have same size, it should still work in partial dual channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

About ram, I will probably get a stick of 4gb from the same brand, but the 16gb one was bought in like 2019, and if I buy a 4gb one right now, I don't know if it will work properly About psu, probably gonna get cx550f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
