Hey everyone! I'm considering upgrading my PC, which has a Ryzen 3 3200G, an A520K MK2 motherboard, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM, but it currently doesn't have a GPU. I recently found out that my power supply is an "Aluna Al-P500". It's supposed to be 500W, but I came across a blog post that claims it only delivers about 227W. This left me confused about whether I'll need to upgrade my PSU before I can use my new 1050 Ti. What do you think? Is that 227W number reliable, and what should I do? Any advice would help!

That PSU sounds a bit sketchy to me. No-name brands can be risky, and since power supplies are crucial for stability, I'd recommend looking for a reputable one. It's better to invest in a solid PSU to protect your components. Did you build the PC or buy it pre-built from a store?
I did buy it pre-built, and now I see that most components are from the Aluna brand. What brands should I look for? My budget is pretty tight, living in Argentina makes it tough to find good deals.
