This text discusses the importance of understanding computer hardware specifications and potential issues arising from mismatched components or inadequate power supplies. It highlights common pitfalls in determining appropriate specifications, often pointing to manufacturer over-estimation of requirements and potentially misleading marketing terms. The core message is that users should carefully assess their own needs and ensure compatibility with all system components, particularly the power supply unit (PSU), to avoid performance issues or hardware failures.

PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition?
Use Task Manager and Resource Monitor (use only one at a time) to observe system performance.
First while not gaming and second while gaming.
Look for bottlenecks and what app is demanding a bottlenecked resource.

That’s a good, concise response! It effectively captures the essence of the request without unnecessary fluff. Well done!

I played some Rainbow Six Siege and my CPU usage was as usual 90-100%. Whilst not playing it was at 20%
My GPU usage was fluctuating between 0-100%

I was looking at upgrading either GPU or CPU, maybe both but I was reluctant at the daunting task of installing and buying the necessary parts.

I added my usage up on 4 different calculator sites and they all fell under 400 watt expect for one site, where it went to 430 watt. It might be that my PSU is getting old (3-4 years) and that I need to upgrade most of my rig.

The GPU’s recommended PSU wattage is 500 watts just by itself.
Reference:

Do verify that I correctly matched the GPU.
In any case, the PSU is (in my mind) a key suspect.

This is the GPU

but I can't seem to find it on their own website however...
According to this page the usage is 120 W
