I recently assembled my PC and am checking if an upgrade to a better PSU is necessary. My current setup has an overclock at 3.8GHz with 1.33V. After running Cinebench without problems, I tested Prime95 for an hour under low temperatures, and everything worked smoothly. I mainly use games, Netflix, and YouTube. The 3.8GHz performance is satisfactory, and I don’t intend to increase it further with the stock cooler.

Didn't catch the most demanding component, was it a GPU?
