Do I have enough power?

basketballthebest23 · Apr 14, 2018

I am looking at this PC, it is pre-built and is a pretty good deal. It is the one listed for 799 with a RX 580. The power supply coming with it is a 450 watt EVGA B or something along that line. The problem is I have tested it in a power supply calculator and I'm short of 8 watts. Will this cause an impact strong enough to shut down my computer randomly? Or will I be fine? I was not looking to overclock or anything, just stream on this and maybe add 2-3 more fans. Thanks so much and here's the PC https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gamer-ultra-desktop-amd-ryzen-5-1400-8gb-memory-amd-radeon-rx-580-1tb-hard-drive-black/5833100.p?skuId=5833100

EDIT: I was also thinking of having 2 monitors too so would that affect anything?

I see only CyberPowerPC. They are known for making custom pcs and that psu is more than enough. Usually sites will tell you the wattage 25% percent bigger or recommend you a psu will bigger wattage even if it's not neccesarly.

that psu is sub par

with a rx 580 it will cause issues yes

you want a decent 550w psu for it

Maxalge don't give false information. Thats the psu thats coming with the cyberpower pc. They have 4.7 rating out of 1600+ reviews for nothing?
