Hello guys, im new in pc building and im planning to build my budget gaming pc next month...
One of my problems is that i cant understand what psu to use
My specs should be

CPU Intel pentium g4560
MOBO Gigabyte B250M DS3H
Ram 2x4gb OR 1x8gb ddr4 (so later i can upgrade with dual channel 16gb)
GPU Gtx 1050ti OC (from msi or gigabyte)
HDD 1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue 7.2
CASE Aerocool Aero 500
And the last one is the correct PSU...

Whats The less wattage i can use and whats the suggested one?

This system included a psu at around 60euro will cost me about 550euro and thats my budget for now... as time pass upgrades will come though... At the time i want a balanced pc for personal use and enjoying some good games like gta v, cs go, battlefield 1 and stuff like this.

Does this system worth? will lack in multitasking? |

Sorry for the long post guys, and thanks for your help!

If you're never going to use a card faster than the GTX 1050, you only need a good quality 300W - 350W PSU. The card has a TDP of only 75W. Personally, I would never build a system with only a 300W PSU. Go for at least a 500W so you have some upgradeability. Seasonic, XFX, Evga are all good brands. If you need me to pick one out for you, please link me to where you will be buying it from.

If your gaming is at 1080p/60Hz, the GTX 1050 is the minimum card you should consider if you like to play with high in-game settings.

thanks for your answer although i posted in wrong topic i believe!

So if i change my plans and use the same setup, but with rx470 instead of 1050ti it will help in performance?

As for the PSU i'm between two options

http://www.skroutz.gr/s/9777439/EVGA-Power-Supply-500W.html
http://www.skroutz.gr/s/5604253/Corsair-VS-Series-VS550-80Plus.html#sku-info
(obviously the page is in greek, but you can identify the models!)

Are they acceptable solutions?

Both PSUs are economy models. I would probably opt for the Corsair over the evga simply due to slightly better +12V specs. I have used both in budget builds and had no issues.

Yes, the RX 470 is a bit faster than the GTX 1050 Ti. And a lot faster under games that offer the Vulkan API. I just built a budget build with the Pentium G4620 (2C/4T) and a RX 470. Testing Doom with Ultra settings at 1080p using the Vulkan API, I can maintain between 120 fps - 160 fps.
