Asked By TechieWizard42 On

I'm looking for some advice on whether this power supply unit (PSU) from eBay is enough for my setup. I'm using an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, a GTX 1660 Super graphics card, and a B550 motherboard. Here's the link to the PSU: [eBay PSU](https://www.ebay.fr/itm/201257564181). Any insights would be appreciated!

Honestly, a 500W PSU from a reputable brand is more than adequate for your configuration. However, the one you linked seems sketchy; it likely doesn’t even deliver true 500W. The 12V rail is only rated for 18A, which means it can only provide 216W. A good quality PSU should comfortably provide its rated wattage on the 12V rail, which is crucial for your components. I’d steer clear of that one—it could be a safety hazard.

Thanks for the heads up! That’s super helpful. I definitely will look for a better PSU brand. Cheers!
