Hey everyone! I've put together a new PC with the following components:
- Motherboard: Asus B850 Plus WiFi
- CPU: AMD 9950X3D
- GPU: 9070TX OC
- Storage: 9100 Pro 2TB SSD
- RAM: Crucial 2x16GB
- Cooling: AIO ROG Ryuo 240
Based on my calculations, I'm estimating around 400W for the GPU and 170W for the CPU. The AIO has a spec rating of 300W, which is kind of misleading.
Currently, I'm using a TUF Gaming 850W PSU, and I'm worried it might not be enough. Could someone help clarify this? Thanks!

Yeah, 850W should be enough for your setup! You're in a good spot power-wise with those components.
The AIO cooler likely draws around 20W, not the 300W you're worried about. The number you've seen might be the TDP, which refers to the heat it can handle rather than power draw. No need to panic about your PSU!
I see, it was confusing since the specs listed it like that. What does the 4-pin connector indicate? Is it the peripheral one from the PSU?
