CX550M good enough?

[Vonix]

Hi guys

So im wondering if i should buy a new psu or not. i bought the cx550m about a month ago, it was purchased for my build that i was planning on making which is:

 

Cpu: Ryzen 2600 oc (with h60 water cooler)

Mob: x370 ROG strix-f

Ram: 2x8gb ddr4 3200mhz

Gpu: rx 580 strix TOP

 

Should i stick with the psu i have? or am i better off buying a new psu. i just feel like the cx550m isnt good enough to have worry free in my pc. and that 550w is not enough. i have 3 options

1. Just stick with it

2. Buy a better psu for more money (Which is hard atm)

3. Temp use the cx550m and buy another psu within the year or 6 months ( as i said cash is tight)

 

Thanks guys

Not good reasons to qualify a PSU as being good, but you still happen to be right

i said hes good as in doing alright not that the PSU is

 

the points i mentioned are however a good indication that he didnt grab anything utterly unuseable and that it is "good enough" to work without exploding or dying in under a week

- "A higher 80 PLUS rating correlates to better quality." Incorrect.

...and it goes on to explain why. I just want to make sure we all understand the difference between a good efficiency rating and a good PSU, that's all.

Your PSU is sufficient for your rig, no reason to go for a better PSU if your budget doesn't allow it right now. Get more money and then think of upgrading the PSU. Don't worry nothing will fry itself. At worst (and I'm 99% sure that it won't happen) the psu will die but your other components will be perfectly fine so you will be forced to buy a new one anyways.

For that Setup its OK.

For higher end GPUs, I'd look at Bitfenix Formula, Cougar GX-F instead though.
