Guys, I built a friend's system. i5 6500, asus b150 gaming pro, 8gb ram, cx 430 psu and a gigabit network card, a samsung 24 inch 1080p monitor, a logitech webcam.
Recently he ordered msi rx 570 armor and its on the way.
now i am very confused whether this psu will be sufficient to power this graphics card. plz help me decide whether to suggest him cancel order or not

theoretically should be enough, too close to the limit i think but should work, doing the psu calculation is enough but always leave more space, don't use all the watts on a psu is good, noise, heat and performance when loaded is not perfect

i think it should do well, pc should use 350 watts more or less, so 80 watts unused theoretically

the psu has the connectors for it i think so is doable

the psu could be on the limit of be capable to handle that gpu, consider later ad psu upgrade

the gpu uses 150 watts, the mainboard and cpu around 120 to 150

there is not much room left for the psu in terms of load and psus when loaded like this, you will hear the fan spinning

the worst it can happen is sudden restarts while using the gpu or game crashes, if that happens, recommend him to sell the cx and buy a 550 watts psu later
