I have a Segotep S7GT-450W that I used to run this spec: H110M DVS R2 + G4560 + 1050ti + 8Gb Ram + 1Tb HHD + 240Gb SSD 

Now im planning to upgrade my pc to B450M-A + ryzen 5 1600 + 1050ti + 12Gb Ram + 1Tb HHD + 240Gb SSD

I need to know whether my PSU can handle it or do I have to upgrade it ( hopefully not) 

I have a very tight budget and have to save as many pennies as possible 

Please let me know, thanks!

Yes, highly recommended because of the old PSU seems rather low quality and old, that might damage the components or even kill them.

 

 

Good Choices are be quiet Straight Power 11, Bitfenix Formula + Whisper M.

personally i would upgrade the PSU, but its not the end of the world if you decide not to. 

 

id save the money on the extra 4GB of ram you are purschasing. it wont be running in Dualchannel and that sadly is more or less a must.

 

save those 4GB and put it towards a new GPU and PSU. those will be your next items to upgrade. 8GB suffices for gaming (though admittedly with not a lot of overhead)
