Troubleshoot Is Corsair Cx450m PSU enough?

[pauloalex409]

1st - Hi everyone and Im sorry if im posting this in the wrong forum.

So getting right into it, Im building my own system and I would like to know if this psu is enough for my build:

MOTHERBOARD MSI B150M PRO-VDH
RAM G.SKILL AEGIS 8GB (1X8GB) DDR4-2133MHZ
INTEL CORE I5-6500 3.2GHZ 6MB SK1151
TP-LINK WIRELESS N 300MBPS PCI
MSI RADEON RX 470 GAMING X 4G
TOSHIBA DT01ACA 500GB 7200RPM 32MB SATA III
SSD 2.5" KINGSTON SSDNOW UV400 120GB TLC SATA

Nothing special. Thank you for any help you can provide.

There are plenty PC power consumption calculators.
For example: Power Supply Calculator - The most accurate PC wattage calculator
MSI Global

You are cutting it a bit close especially if you ever want to overclock the gpu. The psu works better at around 50% of their full power. I would get a 550w model to just have the room when the power supply performance drops and it will as years pass.

At default you will use something around 350W without changing anything so a 450 should work. You decide if you can spend the money for the 550w.

If you don't overclock anything you should be good... but i would still get a PSU with a few watts more just to be safe

Im not thinking to overclock anything, i thought corsair was a good and trustable choice for a psu and that was the only one available at the moment (from corsair) but I may buy a better one, I only asked because i dont know much about psu. If you can recommend other than corsair im fully opened to it.
Note: Sorry horrible english.

If you already bought the psu keep it i guess. Without overclock it will 100% work without any issue. If you still want to get a bigger one just list all the models you can buy that have 550W and within your price limit and i will try and figure something out.

No, I didnt buy one yet (my awesome english might give that idea) and the budget isnt the problem at all i dont mind waste more money for a worthy psu so if u can just tell me trustable brands and I will buy a 550w if needed.
Once again rip english

Your English is fine dude. Don't worry about it, most of us here are not native English speakers.

Can you get the evga supernova G2 or G3? It's an excellent psu and it comes at 550W.
If you can't it's better to tell me what models the shop you are using has because me trying to guess availability it's hard.

If you're not a computer 'pro' and i use that word sparingly don't overclock.

Moving on, No one will just do the work for you with a straight up yes or no answer or so I assume.

YOu will have to look at each part and calculate the voltage per part and see how much power you need.
