Hi,

it is rated at 450Watts according to the link below. The RX570 requires a minimum of 350Watts with a 6 pin GPU connector (See link below).

The GTX 1650 also requires a minimum of 350Watts but doesn't need a power connector as it only draws 80Watts!. (See link below).

Thank for the reply .

Armageddon Voltron Bronze 235FX real Watts is 242Watts, The 450 Watts is it max /peak Power.

So this really concern me, when I first bought the CPU, I already ask seller about the PSU & seller mention is 450Watts.
But when I check it, is a 242Watts PSU.....

Planning to buy EVGA 600 or can I get suggestion/recommendation a good 450Watts ~ 600Watts ATX PSU under 80$ that suitable for GTX 1650 / RX 570 ?

Thank You.

Not being a power supply engineer. I look at the 225 Watt continuous rating of that PSU and I'd be off to spend $75 on a name brand PSU rated at 450-500 watts continuous. I had a PSU fail in a PC some years back. Fried the MB,CPU and the RAM.

Plenty on Amazon and most likely eBay!.

Amazon.com : 600 watt modular power supply

 

[Tim Locke]

Probably don't need 600, 450 continuous noticeable cheaper. I like Corsair or Coolermaster.

I like those modular PSUs , you end up with fewer cables in the box.

For recommendation; you want to look for 80+ Gold. This is the efficiency rating. Next is brand and with in those brands are entry, builder, gaming and pro series. Seasonic, Corsair, Antec are my 3 go to PSU. Stay away from the entry and builders levels...go with gaming/pro series. They are more expensive but well worth it. Next is to look at the warranty......3 - 5 year warranties = entry/builder level PSU's.....look for ones that have 7 - 10 year warranties. Follow those search parameters and you'll have a quality PSU at a starting price point of $99

13 amps on the 12v rail isn't going to cut it for an rx570 or gtx1650. A basic 400 watt Corsair (or the other brands bassfisher mentioned) would be ample for those cards.

If the OP does go with the RX570, make sure the PSU has a 6 pin connector whatever you buy!.

About the RX570. Most of them ( the one on my radar ) using 8 pin.

So, can I use 8pin (6+2) or do I need single 8pin.

Here is the 2 RX570 that I planing to buy ;

Normally you can detach the connector (8 pin or 6+2) so just make sure that whatever you buy, does indeed have the required connector!.

Yes....as long as the cable says PCIe GPU on it some where. Most modern PSU cables come labeled as such
