No name PSU question

So i bought a computer a few years ago and it came with one of those shitty no name unrated powersupplies. It is a 350w, and i have an fx 4300 and an r7 250. Which the CPU is a 95w and gpu is like 48 i think.

 

My question is, if im upgrading to an ryzen 1300x and a gtx 1050, CPU is 65w and gpu 75w. which comes out to be around the same wattage, do i need to upgrade my psu? (i know i should anyways)

 

Sorry for this being sloppily written, in a rush atm.

Yah this is a no brainer throw it at the garbage where it belongs, also change the 1300x for a 1200 since they are identical after overclocking which only takes a minute to do and try afford minimum a 1050 Ti which is very worth it.

Don't forget to throw the FX in the trash at the same time. Then punch it.

Then set it on fire, piss it out and relight.

FX isn't that bad, given its price.

At least it can run way more programms than an equally expensive Celeron or Pentium could because it's 4 Cores.

 

The i3 was way more expensive as the FX4k series, the 6k was in that range...

That's something to keep in mind..

 

Also all FX were unlocked.

What 'unrated Powersupply' are you talking about?

Pls post a Pic of the label here.

Acbel, Delta, Liteon/HiPro/Chikoney?? 

 

Anyway, if it is a cheapo, that should answer your question:
