I'm having a problem finding a gpu i can run with the amount of power of 500W i got. Or is 500W not worth it these days. I've been reading most requirements & most say *500W recommended* Any suggestions anons? This is my first build.

Most low-end to mid-range GPU's will be fine with 500w. Even a high-end one might be ok depending on your CPU. You might want to get a 650w psu just to be safe though.
Nolan White
Aww man i just this thing a month ago :(
Austin Torres
Also i got a i7 8700k don't know if that helps
William Green

Jayden Hall

THIS MY FIRST TIME. I am now confused

I have a 450w PSU for the following and it's fine
>2200g
>RX 580 8GB
>8GB RAM
>b450 board
>500 GB SSD
>4 Case fans
>illuminated keyboard
even at maximum stress, like in a benchmark, it pulls like 280w from the wall. Your PSU is enough.

I'm running a 1070 and OCd 6600k on a SFF 450W PSU without problems for years.

Thanks user you wont be forgotten. Can rx cards run with intel builds ? Again first time.
Nathaniel Smith
5700 or 5700xt should be fine with a 500w depending on what CPU you have.

Dont be upset sbout my 90% efficiency. I am sensative. Kinda wish i paid up for a titanium though
Dominic Miller
You kinda don't have 90% efficiency though. At least if you count 10%.
Easton Morgan
yeah including line losses in the dx and tx, its a crapshoot
