Is My Power Supply Good Enough for My New PC Build?
Asked by
TechWiz42
Hey everyone! I just got my first PC for €450, which has an Intel i5 12400F, a 3050 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD, along with what I believe is a H610 motherboard. The power supply is rated at 800W but with only 300W of real power. Should I be concerned about this setup or do I need to replace the power supply? Thanks!

No need to worry about the power supply! An 800W rating should be more than enough to support your 3050. Just keep an eye on your system's stability when gaming or under load, but it looks solid overall.

People might be suspicious about whether the PSU is actually providing the full 800W. Just remember, the '300W real power' means it's guaranteed to deliver that much reliably. Your GPU should work just fine with it!
