You often don't receive a message when your PSU isn't running smoothly. A low-quality PSU is just a bad idea, especially with the hardware they're paired with. It can fail and leave your equipment damaged. The gold models are decent at best, but the bronze ones are really poor in terms of quality.
Sadly, I've attempted this in various games but it hasn't helped. Additionally, many games crash before reaching the lobby.
When adjusting your system to 60hz on a new monitor, the stability of games depends on various factors.
To determine if a PSU is of good quality in the future, consider its reliability, performance consistency, and any past issues reported by users.
Investigate the brand and model details. Price and coverage duration usually indicate suitability. Warranties under five years aren't recommended for gaming computer configurations. For instance, EVGA's warranty information can be found here: https://www.evga.com/warranty/power-supplies/
You could obtain a 750w unit, but remember then that when you plan to upgrade again, you might need a different power supply, for example, the 3080 requires at least 750w. If you have plenty of extra components in your computer, you may want to consider a 850w or even 1000w power supply to be prepared for the future.
Thank you for bringing this up, it shows I should also anticipate possible issues when purchasing the new monitor I’m interested in, which is 165hz. Still I believe my PSU can handle it, although others have told me my motherboard isn’t the best.
We’ll see what comes next when I upgrade to that new monitor.
