Hello everyone,
I'm looking to buy a used sapphire nitro+ rx 580 4gb and am wondering if my 450w psu will be enough to do the job.. my opinion is that it will do well but im not the genius on the subject and dont want to burn my pc :p

my setup
i5 4590 with arctic freezer 33
asus h81m-k mobo
2x4 gb 1866 mhz ddr3 RAM
1TB 7200 RPM HDD

The PSU is Fractal Integra M 450w Bronze

(i know that a gtx 1060 would be a better choice but i can get the rx 580 for 170$ and the seller is a friend so its a win-win :D)

No, it doesn't have the proper connections for the Graphics card, and it's very low quality and not powerful enough for the system.

You need at least a good 550W PSU.

It should be ok even while running on moderate loads.
But it also depends on how long you've had that psu for(they degrade over time)... I would expect that games that can push this card 100% will likely crash or restart your pc.
500w(minimum) or greater is recommended for that card.
