Ok so i just looked up the specs for the PSU currently in the Toaster Project and its a 200W unit, just wondering if it will be enough for a Ryzen 3 chip + RX 460/ 1050 a harddrive and some RGB LEDs so i can save myself some bank for makeing other parts better(like getting a better GPU or something) :) SFX PSUs arent cheap the one im looking at is the BeQuiet SFX Power 2 400W and it goes for about $70 includeing shipping so it would help if i could put that cash towards something else instead :D thakns for any replies and any help!

 

*edit*

the Ryzen 3 chip will most likely be running at stock and be one of the mid teir Ryzen 3 ones

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Depends on which PSU is that. Some PSU does not deliver the wattage they are advertised for.

 

there is basically no more info on it then 200W PSU, its a custom unit that came with all Fujitsu Scaleo C PCs

200W? Cutting it really close. I wouldn't regardless of what the math says, because I just don't trust that little power with a performance build. Doesn't matter if it's built by Seasonic or FSP or Chengdu Chinese Firecracker Factory.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.
