PSU Calculations
If PSU calculators say that my build needs 350w
then recommends a 850w PSU
i think it's a big headroom for my build
my question is what is the actual PSU wattage needed for the build to work very fine and handle all power spikes ?
Build:
MB: Asus Prime H510m-k
GPU: AMD Rx5600xt
CPU: i5-11400F
HDD : 2x7.2 HDD
SSD: 1xM.2
1xSata SSD
for a base level AM RX5600XT, opt for a 650W power supply and skip the PSU calculator—just settle for it. Adding extra wattage provides buffer and extends the lifespan of the device.
I was considering a 650w PSU to prolong the life of my build. I thought about the Corsair CV650 — 650 Watt 80 Plus® Bronze — since I don’t have a large budget. Would you recommend it? It was listed as Tier C in the Cultists Network list.
