Is my PSU limiting my PC?

[DraconicFire98]

hello, just signed up. ive been having issues with my pc.. multiple issues. and i think that i might have completely screwed myself over.. im guessing you guys are gonna think the same when i say i have a prebuilt. and with most common issues... my psu is under powered.. at 200W and ive had a friend research my hardware. the recommended amount is 207w. i already know that ill have to upgrade my psu either way to get any decent hardware.. but for now is my PSU the only thing thats really slowing down my PC with this config?

 

I made an album with speccy screenshots showing detailed hardware info. if you need more info i will supply with more info.

No, as far as I know your PSU won't cause throttling. You really should upgrade that PSU anyway though, that's a very small wattage PSU, and it's more than likely poor quality.

No, the PSU will not "throttle" because you are using more than its rated. You should be fine though you might be using it quite up to its limit, so try to replace it incase it overshoots the limit (current is unstable) and fails.

wow.. that was fast... thank you. i was already planning on upgrading the psu .. now all i need to find is a decent gpu that doesn't cost an arm and a leg.. so i guess my question has been answered in a matter of minutes

Well normally a PSU can't "slow down" a pc, if it boots and runs under full load without freezes you're fine. PSUs can run a little higher than their specifications suggest. 

 

Whether that's good for its lifetime is a whole other deal.

Power supplies won't throttle back if you pull more than its rating states. If the limit of the unit is reached in some form, the power supply will either shut off or burn itself out.
