Hi again peeps
I have a really simple question.
I recently got this build and I would like to know what is the recommended PSU for it, also how do I know recommended PSU myself for in the future, I mean what decides how much power I need etc?

Motherboard: b350 Mortar
CPU:Ryzen 3 1200
GPU: Asus Expedition GTX 1050 TI 4gb GDDR5
Ram: 2 modules of the Crucial Ballistix Sport 4gb DDR4 2400 Mhz

I've found one (Cooler Master Elite V2 500W PSU) which is quite cheap where I live, is it good, should I get it or which one should I get?

Thank you for your time <3

Where do you live? Any 400W PSU or above will be more than enough here. I would note recommend the Cooler Master Elite series for gaming.
Please refer to this list and don't go past Tier 4 (Tier 1 being the best):

Piece of advice, when you say 2 modules. I hope you mean dual channel (meaning 1 box containing two 4Gb sticks). Please don't buy two separate 4Gb RAM sticks.

I have two of the same ram sticks, Which as I said are both Crucial Ballistix Sport 4gb DDR4 2400 Mhz, both of them are the same and I've applied them I believe in two banks as said in the manual of the b350.

So yea well, since I'm obviously such a dummy in such stuff.
What power supply do you recommend for this build regarding best value, best compatibility and best performance?

Well if it works then it's okay. It's just that dual channel RAM sticks are tested by the manufacturer to be compatible with each other and also work perfectly with each other so you get better performance. That's why I was stressing on it.

For the PSU, it depends on where you live. Can you recommend a website where I can pick one for you?

with power supply's cheap is not always the best with a gaming rig. look on line for power supply tier list. try to stay away from no name and low end units. with gaming pc the 12v rail is the rail that the cpu and gpu hit hard. your always better to over size a power supply. it run cooler and quiet. it also gives you headroom if you put in a higher end gpu latter on. two gpu rigs should have a 850w unit. high end gpu should be 750w to be safe. you have to be care full of vendors fugging there numbers that there products uses or gives out.

That sounds great, thank you a lot, but I doubt I can get 850W due to my budget sadly.


Let's say I got about a 1200 EGP budget for the PSU.
