Hey all, I just ordered new parts to build a PC, and I really want to know before building it: will my EVGA 400W PSU be good for this build:
Ryzen 5 1500x
Gigabyte GTX 1060 6GB (Reccomends 400W+)
Gigabyte B350M motherboard

Will my PSU be enough? Or should I return it and get a 450/500W PSU?

Probably not and I would be leery of 450/500W even.

Add up the wattage requirements of all your build components and add 40%. Or use 2 or 3 online calculators to do the same.

Get a consensus on the power/wattage needed to support your build. And think ahead for possible growth requiring even more power.

If 400W: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=436
Poor quality, 400 is enough but the poor quality will impact its capability to produce enough consistently and safely for long period of time, don't cheap out on psu, it is the heart of pc.
Which country is it? Budget on the psu and build? Why 1500X? I will get 1600 for similar price or 2600 for its faster base clock and newer B450 chipset.
