I recently installed an RTX 3060 and an Intel i9 CPU, but I think my 500W power supply might not provide enough power for all the parts. MSI Afterburner indicated the GPU was only using 40 watts while Fortnite ran at low settings. Could this be affecting my performance?

If the voltage isn't sufficient, your computer will shut down. Usually, every power cord is linked to the motherboard and GPU, ensuring all components are active.
