He isn't limited. The RX 570 uses up to 175 watts, the RX 580 up to 225 watts. The RX 470 reaches about 150 watts. A refurbished GTX 1060 uses around 130 watts. A quality 400-watt power supply can handle at least 320-350 watts on the 12-volt line, enough for both the graphics card and CPU. The 2200g model draws 50-60 watts, meaning with a RX 570 the overall draw will be roughly 250-300 watts on the 12-volt supply. A solid 400-watt PSU should operate smoothly at about 70-80% of its rated power. It won't hurt performance much, just a slight boost. I'd consider it only if the price difference stays under 20 dollars.
