Hello

I have a plan to replace my old speedpower 500w (it make me worry) and planning to buy 550w PSU for investment to upgrade in the future
My Spec is
- Intel core i5 3330 3Ghz
- Asrock Z86 Pro3 Gen3
- XFX R7770 (HD7770) DD (i plan to upgrade it if i have money, maybe i will ask your advice again XD )
- HD 320 GB (i plan to upgrade it to 1TB at least)
- Corsair Vengeance 8GB Kit

Its 550W PSU enough to running my RIG if i upgrade my GPU and HDD? i dont plan to overclock my system, just running normal

Btw i have read several thread and review about CoolerMaster G550M vs Corsair CX550M (currently that 2 PSU is best available in my region), cooler master said to have better price and performace ratio than Corsair but corsair have upgrade their cx series so i need advice what is better between that 2 psu now? or should i must take Seasonic M12II-520 EVO ? its 520W enough? (for seasonic i must go to other region but its fine for a good psu),


Thanks Before
(sorry for my long rant and poor english)
Best Regard

^ no the cx550m is fine , the gtx 1050 uses less than your old card.

You'll be drawing about 250w max from the PSU so a cx550 has around 300w spare now.

I'm running a ryzen 1700 & a gtx 1070 on the same PSU.

You'd be fine with the corsair cx450m if it's available for less money too.
