Hello, I've just ordered all of my components although I'm not sure if the PSU is powerful enough, I used https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator and it says I'm safe although would like a second opinion.

 

These are my parts;

 

Case: Corsair 240 air with 3 120mm case fans

Mobo: MSI B350M Mortar MATX

SSD: 120gb samsung

RAM: Crucial Ballistix sport 2400 (2x4GB)

HDD: 1TB 7200rpm seagate

Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1600

GPU: XFX radeon rx 580 OC to 1425mhz

PSU: Corsair CX450M 450w Bronze+

 

Would this PSU be able to run this system?  I'm not interested in overclocking anything drastically at all, although I would maybe push the processor a little bit.

 

 

Thanks :)

Yes, no problem, a quality 450W can scrape an i7 and 1070

The XFX recommends 500W (didn't realise until after I bought it, just relied on the outervision calc being correct).  But 450w should still be fine?  @WereCat

That system will never even touch 400W from the wall in the worst case scenario after you overclock.
