Resolved: what steps should I take?
Greetings, I'm planning to improve my system by replacing my current AMD Ryzen 5 2400G with a Ryzen 5 3600 and my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB with an RTX 2070 Super. I’m uncertain whether a new motherboard and power supply unit are necessary, and I want to confirm if a 600-watt 80+ bronze power supply would be sufficient for my upgraded components. My current PC configuration is as follows:
MOBO: A320M PRO-VD/S
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2400G
RAM: 16GB Patriot 2400MHz
GPU: Zotac GTX 1060 6GB
PSU: 600W 80+ Bronze
Case: GAMEMAX CASING G535 CR
According to my analysis, a 3600 processor will work perfectly with your motherboard. There’s no requirement for an upgrade. See this link for compatibility details: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/...upport-cpu. Additionally, your power supply unit is adequate.
To assess whether your power supply unit (PSU) meets your system's needs, I suggest visiting this website: https://www.bequiet.com/en/psucalculator. Simply enter your components to determine their power requirements.
What type and brand of power supply is it? There’s a significant variation in quality between low-grade and high-performance units.
Your computer’s power supply wattage is largely dictated by your graphics card.
Could you specify the brand and model of your power supply?
Typically, a GTX1060 requires just one 6-pin connector from the power supply.
An RTX2070 generally necessitates a single 8-pin connection.
If your power supply has these, you probably don't need to worry.
However, a low-quality power supply unit might not be capable of providing the power it claims.
The Silverstone ST60F, and should I also need to replace the motherboard?
According to my analysis, a 3600 processor will work with your motherboard without requiring any modifications. See this link for compatibility information: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/...upport-cpu. Furthermore, your power supply unit is adequate.
The power supply unit performs well. Your motherboard is adequate, but be certain to update your BIOS settings before replacing the processor.
