sufficient wattage

[DevotedMist]

im new to the whole building a pc thing and I want to make sure im doing it right. Ive been reading about 750W and 850W PSUs being the recommended ones for mid-high range rigs but they're a bit ut of my price range. Would a 450W - 550W PSU be sufficient for these specs?

If you put it into the configurator and it lets you proceed, it’ll work 👍

However, we generally recommended going around 100w over the suggested amount to allow headroom as you may sacrifice upgradability. New GPUs will tend to be more power hungry.

And you get what you pay for with a PSU, the CV range will do the job but a TXm is a vast improvement and the RMx are bomb proof.

It pays off in the long term to not scrimp on the power supply, it’s a hugely important part of your system 👍

I would also suggest you look at an AMD based build as a better alternative to Intel. If you would like us to spec something up for you please let us know.
