Do you have additional specifics about the PSU beyond its power rating? Brand, model, age, and typical usage conditions such as light or heavy loads.

Sorry, I can't include PSU details. It's the Silverstone SFX 300 W 80+ Bronze. I mainly handle basic tasks such as gaming and browsing.

The PSU has good build quality.
Does your GTX1650 require a 6 or an 8 pin PSU connector?
If it's 6, it should work:

It is sufficient, but there isn't any overhead, fully loaded its using around 240w, which is right at the max consistent load you want to use for that unit. You only want to consistently use 80% of a power supplies rating for longevity, so since this is a 300w, minus 20%, thats 240w.

Hi there, sorry for the delayed response. Your GTX 1650 doesn't have a power connector; it draws power only through the PCIe slot.

Yes, it could affect performance. Undervolting can lower power consumption and heat, but might also reduce speed if done too much.

It's not a major issue, and you're not required to, it should work well as it stands. Just keep in mind that if you plan to upgrade the GPU, you'll probably need to upgrade the power supply too. It should function properly for a long time.
