Hi yes!

 

When it comes to choosing a PCU you have two different types of options between power supplies:

 

* Modular - Plug in your cables which is needed for your system good for cable management 

 

* Non-Modular - Comes with all cables which is already wired to the PS

 

And you have different ATX power supply models i.e.: Micro-Atx etc.

 

To work out what power wattage supply you needed you need to work out the total system estimated wattage. You can either find these through looking through products specs to find the wattage, add all components wattages and that gives you the estimated wattage or use a website such as Choose Your Parts - PCPartPicker

 

put in your components and it will check if their compatible and show the estimated wattage.

 

Then you can select the required PSU wattage for example your build uses 250W and you would select 500W and the atx model depending on what ATX your motherboard is. I recommend having a higher PSU wattage for future upgrades to your system, so you don't have to buy a new PSU every time.

 

Hope this helps!

For that CPU and an RX580?

The wattage would be sufficient.

 

I have never heard of that PSU brand.

I googled it, and at least nothing bad came either.

It seems sufficient enough, never heard of that brand either, plus gold 80 seems a really efficient choice.

Mars Gaming sounds suspiciously like ARESGAME.

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.
