Suggest best Graphic Card for my build

H

hellblazer33

Forerunner
I have recently got the following budget build configuration :

r5 5600g
16 gb single channel ram
asrock b450 motherboard
gigabyte P450B 450 watt psu - https://www.gigabyte.com/in/Power-Supply/GP-P450B#kf

My concern is which graphic card should I buy with these components(specially 450 watt psu) for the best performance I am eyeing on 1660ti or 1660 super But my heart wants 3060 12gb
So need suggession what upgrade can I do. Will 450 watt handle 3060??

Edit - Updated with psu specs

It will work fine as long as the PSU is good. My 3060ti also works fine on a 450 W.

A 3060 will work just fine with that PSU. Go for it.

It'll be fine. I've even run a 290X + 2600K on a Corsair VS450 with zero issues.

How about 3070 twin fan will it run similarly?

I'm a bit skeptical of the PSU quality, but considering it has 2 8pins and the rest of your system used up to 150w any GPU with max power draw of 200w will work fine I guess. 3060ti, 3070, 3070ti too maybe.

AFAIK the Gigabyte PSU issues were mostly isolated to the P750/850GM. The P450G should be fine.

Should be fine, as long as you keep things bone stock, although you're on the edge of things.

Then Op is good for 3070 , I have used 3070 on 2k, I mean not max setting but it's good enough to make you enjoy the game.

While everyone is suggesting that 3060 will be fine,i would also recommend saving up for a gold rated psu

It'll be an unnecessary expense. You don't need a gold-rated, >500W PSU for the class of GPU he's looking at. It's only needed if he's doing a complete system overhaul.

These PSU calculators aren't exactly accurate, and they tend to overshoot a bit. Even then, it's well within limits.

When you put it like that my recommendation does seem abit overkill but after having my bronze rated psu die on me I’ve always recommended my friends to go for gold rated just to be on the safe side

I've had gold rated PSUs die on me. These things are sometimes out of your control, unless you buy crap units from Ant eSports, Circle, or Zebronics. Then that's on you.

It was from corsiar :( btw if you don’t mind me asking which gold rated psu was the one that died on you? I’ve been using a rm750x for about 4 years now do you think i should change it ? Do psu have an expiry date of sort like…you can use this psu for said years before replacing it etc

I've had a Silverstone DA750 fail on me.

I also have a shitty Cooler Master Elite 460 from 2011, that still works. That thing was considered garbage, yet it still works. Like I said, some things are out of your control.

So, no, you don't need to change your RM750x. It's a great unit with a solid warranty. Typically, you should keep your PSU for as long as it's under warranty.
