Hey everyone! I'm considering building a PC with an RX 9060XT graphics card and a Ryzen 7 5700X3D processor. I'm wondering if a 450W power supply will be sufficient to power these components, especially since I'm thinking of undervolting both the CPU and GPU to save on power.

Check the GPU specs; they usually mention a minimum or recommended wattage for the power supply. It's crucial to follow those to avoid any issues.
While 450W might technically work, you'll be pretty much at your limit. I’d recommend upgrading to at least a 650W power supply to have some headroom. It's better to have that extra power available, especially under load.
If you have a good quality PSU, then a 450W might do the trick. The RX 9060XT does suggest a 450W PSU. What's the model of your power supply?
Honestly, I’d err on the side of caution. Even if you undervolt, you're running a risk with spikes in power draw. For peace of mind and stability, I'd suggest going for a 600W or even 650W PSU, especially since you’ll also need power for the motherboard, RAM, and other components.
