550w PSU enough for Fx 8320 and gtx 1060?

[NEO_STARK]

Got an old system with a plausible unstable PSU (600w)

I am thinking of reviving the old machine. Will a 550w 80+ PSU be enough?

To be more specific, Cooler Master MWE 550 80+

NOTE - I am not gonna overclock the CPU

Full system specs

AMD Fx8320 stock @3.5Ghz

Nvidia Gtx1060 6Gb

8gb ddr3 Ram

4x 120mm cooling fans

550W should be fine, I run an R7 2700X and 1080 (had a 980 Ti before) off a 550W G3. Ran my 980 Ti with an i5 on a 450W PSU as well.

No, because the MWE550 is group regulated. 

But even 400W would be more than enough without OC, with OC its different.

 

Depending on what's available, you might want to look at be quiet Pure Power 10, 400W and up, Straight Power 11 450W, Bitfenix Formula 450W.

 

If you really want to save a buck a Xilence Performance X 550W is an option. Or be quiet System Power 9 or U9, 400W and up.

If you want a Cooler Master, get at least the Master Watt Vanilla. The 550W Version has at least DC-DC, though I don't like that they don't have any Buffercaps there.

For stock settings sure but if you OC I would go for a 650 just so you have some headroom. I doubt that system will ever pull near 600 but you never wanna be close to max wattage because PSUs are not at max efficiency unless they are around 60ish percent load. but yea 500 should be enough for stock and then some.

Get a Powermeter, PC Components don't consume that much. And BD isn't as bad as you try to make it out.

 

With my FX8350 I was usually at 350-400W under normal Gaming load with a Radeon HD7970GHz - the GPU he uses consumes around half of rhat, so we're talking about somewhat around 300W (+/- 50W) under normal Load...

 

And good Power Supplys are rated like that:

 

100% Load at 24/7 Operation...
