Update to my wife's budget PC build

Howdy Folks

 

 

About a week ago I asked here for some advice to my build planning and received great help so I thought I'd do it again!

Build is finished now and got (almost) all the parts. My last issue is the PSU since I'm not sure if I can stick to 450W or if I should up it to a 550W one.

Here are the specs:

 

- MSI B350 PC Mate

- AMD Ryzen 3 1200 (I checked the mobo packaging and it didn't have the "ryzen 2000 ready" sticker so I just went with the 1200 to save myself the headaches of updating BIOS without cpu.

- AMD Asus STRIX RX580 (got basically a steal on that one while saving it from the saltmines)

- HyperX Fury DDR4 2400 (2x4gb) 

- Kingston A400 250gb

- WD Blue 1TB HDD

- Phanteks Eclipse P300 White

 

Now to the PSUs; is a Corsair CX450M sufficient or should I take the safe route and opt for a CX550M?

Edit: Oh and naturally I'm always open to any recommendations regarding PSU, since that's the last part that I'd want to cheap out on.

 

Thanks a lot in advance!

Better safe than sorry! 550M should be worth it

Especially since I already own it. We were planning on upgrading down the line anyway.
