Hey everyone! I've got a Ryzen 5 5600G and 16GB of RAM and after a lot of savings, I'm finally ready to invest in a GPU. I'm currently torn between the 3060 Ti and the 5050, and interestingly, they're both around the same price here in Algeria, with the 3060 Ti often being about $20–$30 cheaper. My main goal is to play League of Legends with streaming and Monster Hunter World without streaming, both at 1080p, and maybe 2K in the future if I can get a monitor and upgrade my setup.
However, I'm a bit concerned about my PSU. I have an LC600H-12 V2.31, and while I've never had issues with it, I want to avoid risking my investment. I plan to upgrade it soon, but I'm looking to see if it can handle either of these GPUs for a month or two. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I'd definitely lean towards the 3060 Ti, especially since it's cheaper too! Just a heads-up, though—your PSU looks a bit sketchy. I wouldn’t trust it too much for a 3060 Ti. It might be worth looking into a solid 650W+ PSU from a reputable brand like Corsair or Seasonic. Better safe than sorry with your hard-earned cash!
The PSU's capability really depends on your total setup. I couldn't find any certification details for your model, which is a red flag. Just sharing my experience: I had a 650W 80+ Bronze PSU with a 3060 Ti, and it would shut off under load, so I had to upgrade to a 750W 80+ Gold. It's probably overkill now, but it’s peace of mind.
Yikes! I didn't realize that. Thanks for the heads up! I’ll definitely consider a better PSU.
You might want to think about upgrading your RAM too. It could help your performance, especially when streaming.
Really? Is 16GB not enough for League of Legends and streaming? I thought that would suffice!
Totally agree! Getting a reliable PSU will save you headaches in the long run.
