Hi,
This is the build I'm currently preparing for DAW and video editing (no gaming at all -- although that information is completely irrelevant). I used several PSU calculators that showed I need only a 550W PSU but I want to be sure so I figured I'd ask those with actual experience.
CPU: Ryzen 1800x
Cooler: NOCTUA NH-15 AM4
Mobo: B350 GYGABYTE Gaming 3
GPU: MSI RX 480 ARMOR 8GB
Memory: 32 GB Kingston 2400 Mhz (2 x 16Gb obviously)
SSD: Samsung Evo 850 500GB
HD: 3x WD Blue 1 TB 7.2k RPM
Case: Fractal Design S (also not relevant)
PSU: EVGA 550 G2/G3
Is the 550 PSU sufficient (as all PSU calculators told me) to completely safely and sufficiently run this system? I have a nagging feeling it should be higher, but it's just a feeling.
I have a secondary question about motherboard compatibility with Ryzen 1800x, (aka will a B350 cause any performance bottlenecks) but I think I will put into another thread.
I very much appreciate any and all answers and am grateful for your shared experience, expertise and time.
