I'm planning to upgrade my whole entire computer, except for the case, HDD, and PSU... but can I even use my PSU? I'm gonna buy an AMD Ryzen 3 1200, an ASUS PRIME A320-K, a Kingston HyperX FURY 2x 4GB kit and a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 Windforce OC 3GB GDDR5 GPU, so how much will that sap? I have a 450W PSU from Corsair, don't know what model is tho...

heck.

By the pure wattage, it's most probably fine but if we don't know the the model we can't determine if it should be replaced. I would also recommend getting 3000mhz ram for Ryzen and I would strongly advise a B350 board- it enables overclocking and it's cheapest models are just a few dollars more expensive.

Hi

 

Just did a fast check in BeQuiet power calculator. Not sure how accurate  it is . But from the site you should be at 50% of max load.   

 

You can buy a wattage meter, they are not that expensive. This will give a good idea on the power consumption.

I am not sure about US pricing, but just get the cheapest 3000mhz kit from a reputable brand.
