get a 600w
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I Would Recommend A 600 Or 600+ Power Supply If You Want The best performance But If You Dont have Enough Money Then I Would Recommend Under-Clocking It Or Just Buy The 3060 And A better Power Supply.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.That entirely depends on if you plan on using your computer with the power on or the power off.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It depends on how power hungry your CPU and other components are, but I would invest in a higher rated PS if youre going to continue upgrading in the future
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It depends, firstly take into account the amount of power consumption your system takes up without a GPU installed, then also, you need to check what your PSU rating is. If you really want to cut it close then make sure your PSU has at least an 80+ rating, preferably higher, PSU's with a lower rating or no rating at all are using cheaper parts that get hotter and short much easier. Bear in mind if you are cheap on your PSU you might be paying a higher price with a toasted system, admittedly, a cheap PSU killing your rig is on the other end of the spectrum and likely not to happen, but better safe than sorry.
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.well, your gpu itself will use abut 200 watts so, if you are pairing it with a strong cpu and a powerful system then you'll need 600+ watts. So, a 500 watt power supply would work but you just won't get maximum preformance
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If I were you I would go ahead and get an 850 or something around there just to have future power for upgrades.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
