Hey everyone! I want to upgrade my HP Pavilion PC by replacing my GTX 1050 with an RX 6600. However, I need a new power supply and I'm not sure which one to get. Here are my specs:
- Motherboard: Sunflower
- CPU: Ryzen 5 2400G
- Current GPU: GTX 1050
- RAM: 32 GB (2x16 GB)
I think my current specs are detailed in this link [HP Pavilion 690](https://admistore.fr/tout-en-un/411807-hp-pavilion-690-0005nf-amd-ryzen-5-2400g-8-go-ddr4-sdram-1-to-hdd-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1050-windows-10-home-mini-tower-pc-noir-4rs42eaabf-hp-0193015268708.html?srsltid=AfmBOoqKNpUQHdEslZp9OUEPkujtBBlNkMi84byFXWKY_JKlNduhbZPD).
What power supply do I need for this upgrade?

You'll need a power supply that's compatible with your HP Pavilion since they usually require proprietary units. If you have a 300W or 400W PSU already, you may not need to upgrade, but keep in mind that the RX 6600 is quite power-hungry. If you're uncertain, check your current PSU wattage!
For the RX 6600, it's recommended to get a good quality PSU with at least 550W and an 80+ rating (Bronze, Silver, or Gold). This will ensure you have enough power for everything. Just make sure it’s compatible with your motherboard!
I’m not sure which PSU to buy. Will these work with my setup?
I have a 310W PSU. Is that sufficient for the RX 6600?
