Would you like to confirm if the parts you selected work together?
I wanted to check if the parts I selected would work together. I previously had a GT 710 GPU and am considering upgrading to an RX 7600 XT, so do I need to adjust the PSU? Additionally, I have a Dell S2421H monitor. Thank you.
They work well together, but you should consider purchasing a set of two 8GB sticks or RAM, preferably two 16GB sticks for a combined 32GB. This approach avoids a RAM bottleneck, as dual-channel operation would be enabled instead of single-channel. Doing so might reduce your performance by up to 25%. Also, think about opting for a 1TB hard drive instead of a 1TB SSD, which offers better value.

I checked if the parts I selected for my PC would work together. The calculator suggested a power demand of around 370 watts. My current setup has an 80+ Bronze 450W power supply. I’m moving from a GT 710 2GB to an RX 7600 XT 16GB, so should I replace the PSU? Are all components compatible? Thanks ahead for your advice.
What's the age of your PSU in this build?
Even if it were brand new, I'd confidently choose a 550~650W reliable PSU with the RX 7600XT GPU and consider it a perfect setup.

Regarding your build, adding a dual-channel, low-latency DDR4-2666MHz RAM would slightly boost overall performance. The current RAM speed isn't optimal for DDR4-3000MHz due to the motherboard's chipset limitations.
