Will my power supply be enough for AMD Ryzen 9 5900x?

Build Help

PSU should be good enough.

But don't expect significantly more gaming performance with an RTX2060.

Thanks for the tip !

Yes of course the plan is to update the GPU later on, for now I am doing the CPU as I found it for a good price and work as an assistant editor so need that CPU power any way !

According to PCPartPicker -

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor 13W - 105W

MSI B450 TOMAHAWK MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard 17W - 70W

Crucial Ballistix 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory 29W

Palit StormX GeForce RTX 2060 6 GB Video Card 40W - 160W

Total: 364W

You'll be fine and have a little headroom for a GPU upgrade.

As turb0j said - Don't expect a massive leap in gaming performance as the RTX 2060 is going to be the limiting factor.

Very helpful thanks! Yep GPU upgrade is for later ! Gotta let my wallet cool off before going back in.
