550W PSU good enough for dual monitors?

ElMuchachoJumbo · Jun 27, 2015

I'm think of running with two monitors on my setup with 8Gb of RAM, a Radeon R7 260X graphics card and an i5-4460. Can my 550W power supply handle that?

Yes. Number of monitors does not affect your power supply. Number (and type) of graphics card does. You will be more than fine with your current 550W.

Hello

Yes, a 550W PSU is plenty of power to make that setup run smoothly, just be careful of cooling problems with the GPU when running dual monitors.

Monitors get plugged into the wall. Not into the computer. And the power draw on the video card should not go over the limit in your case.
