I have a system with a ryzen 3 2200g apu, 8gb crucial ddr4, wb blue 1tb hard drive and a msi micro atx motherboard with b350m chipset
I also have a corsair vs450w psu and plan to buy a rx580 8gb I want to know if the power supply will cope when gaming and if my cpu will create any bottlenecks
Thanks george

Guess that this first part is why noone is responding. It's not a very good psu,but with that system should it be powerfull enough,at least in theory. You can try it,but if you get into problems,and no ... no fire hazard or things blowing up as sometimes is mentioned,do you know where to look.

The cpu being a bottleneck might be in some games very cpu heavy,but depends on your monitor too.An i7 8700 would probably in many games give more fps,but if your monitor is 60hrz and the i7 would give 120fps where the Ryzen would give 80 would it still do fine.Just an example.The RX 580 isn't the best gpu out there so my example might well be out of proportion.

I've decided to buy a vs650 psu and I'm getting an rx580 because my budget is £300 and they have similar performance to a 1060ti however they have more vram and freesync which my monitor has, I would get a 1070 bit I don't have enough cash
