I own a Ryzen 5 5600G with an A520M-K motherboard and a 420W Bronze power supply. I'm checking if it's possible to install an RTX 3060 without exceeding the PSU capacity, or perhaps an RTX 1660. What's the optimal GPU choice for a 420W PSU?

I think it's a local Indonesian brand named Striker Power 420W PSU from Infinity, featuring an 85% efficiency rating.

This? You didn't mention the age of the PSU.

I bought the entire PC as a set last month. Edit: yes, it's 420W.

Your budget for a GPU and PSU is set, and you're likely looking at a reliable 550W unit before adding an RTX3060. Your preferred shopping spot is Indonesia, which helps us gauge your options.

Check if the PSU is faulty and find the best GPU compatibility for it.

From current perspectives, this 310w power supply is considered low quality, delivering just 310 watts on the 12v line. Any video card superior to the 5600g integrated graphics would need a more robust power supply.

The 420w label seems more than just a trick. It's worth checking if it can support a setup with a GTX 1650.

Have already been informed about the unit's shortcomings, follow this guidance carefully. Avoid adding any graphics card of high value to the system using this power supply. It remains uncertain whether it will function properly or for how long.
